I created myself a parser that has quite some

comments is quite common. One format for single line comment and one for multiline
comments.
The comments are not described as part of the format. So now I'm trying to get a
solution how to parse the comments. Basically the can appear anywhere in the text. I could
do it by first removing the comments and then parsinf the format. But hopefully there is
something more smart.
Ah, looking at the java parser I see that implementing a custom token parser is
the way to go. Perfect fit I would say
Yes, this is also what Smalltalk parser is doing. Another option is to explicitly add the
comments to all possible parsers.
I thought at first I want to avoid adding comments to all parsers. But now as I
think again this might be as feasible as having a custom token parser. I think as an
exercise I try to build it with the parsers.
