How to parse > character in Clojure Instaparse?

I am trying to parse the > character in Clojure Instaparse. I have tried |> and |\> but the parser doesn't seem to recognize any of these. Does anyone know the correct syntax?

Solution

  • You would just handle them as strings. E.g.:

    ((insta/parser 
   "S = '<' tag '>'
   tag = #'\\w+'
   ") "<html>")
; [:S "<" [:tag "html"] ">"]

    In instaparse, you can use angle brackets <> to hide parsed elements, suppressing them from the tree output.

    ((insta/parser 
   "S = <'<'> tag <'>'>
   tag = #'\\w+'
   ")  "<html>")
; [:S [:tag "html"]]
