/*	
	Based on the HTML 3.2 spec. by the W3 (http://www.w3.org)
	Alexander Hinds & Terence Parr
	Magelang Institute, Ltd.
	Send comments to:  parrt@jguru.com

	7/4/00	Fixed bug in COMMENT_DATA that wouldn't let - appear in comment
		Made COMMENT scarf WS after comment

	v1.2	Fixed a bug APARAM->APARM in APPLET tag.

	v1.1	Terence Parr (updated to 2.6.0)

	Fixed CCYTE->CCITE
	Fixed def of COMMENT_DATA so it scarfs stuff correctly.
	Also, fixed refs to (PCDATA)? -> (PCDATA)* because a comment
		between PCDATA returns 2 PCDATA--ya need the loop not optional.

	v1.0	Terence John Parr (version 2.5.0 of ANTLR required)

	Fixed how whitespace as handled, removing some ambiguities; some
	because of ANTLR lexical filtering in 2.5.0.

	Changed (PCDATA)* loops to (PCDATA)? general since PCDATA matches
	everything between valid tags (how could there be more than one
	between tags?)

	Made the DOCTYPE optional.

	Reduced lookahead from k=5 to k=1 on the parser and number
	of parser ambiguities to 2.  Reduced lexer lookahead from 6
	to 4; had to left factor a bunch of stuff.

	List items couldn't contain nested lists...fixed it.

	Fixed def of WORD so it can't be an INT.  Removed '-' from WORD.

	Fixed HEXNUM so it will allow letters A..F.

	KNOWN ISSUES:

	1.  Does not handle "staggered" tags, eg: <p> <i> <p> <i>

	2.  Adhere's somewhat strictly to the html spec, so many pages
	won't parse without errors.

	3.  Doesn't convert &(a signifier) to it's proper single char 
	representation

	4.  Checks only the syntax of element attributes, not the semantics,
	e.g. won't very that a base element's attribute is actually
	called "href" 

	5.  Tags split across lines, for example, <A (NEWLINE) some text >
	won't be properly recognized.  TJP: I think I fixed this.

	7.  Lines not counted properly due to the def'n of PCDATA - see the
	alternate def'n for a possible fix.  TJP: I think I fixed this.
