Using Space-Skipping While Preserving Whitespace in Strings and Comments
Abstract
OhmJS[1] incorporates a feature called space skipping.
This feature results in grammars that have better human-readability, but, when used for space-preserving t2t transpilation, this feature requires care to avoid altering the contents of strings and comments due to space-skipping.
This article discusses a practical approach to creating a preprocessing pass to allow convenient use of space-skipping in space-preserving t2t transpilation.
