Hi, thanks for the replies. I think I'm understanding now that I don't need to wrap everything with EXPANDTAG. It also seems that my nested lists issue is something that should probably be taken care of at the grammar or semantic-tag-expand-function level.
Is there anywhere in the manual that show what a correctly parsed file should look like? I've been basing my grammar off of the wisent-java.wy file, but it would be great to see exactly how the result should be structured.
Thanks.
