14.5. The DSL Compiler

The DSL compiler transforms DSL rule files line by line. If you do not wish for this to occur, ensure that the captures are surrounded by characteristic text (words or single characters). As a result, the matching operation done by the parser plucks out a substring from somewhere within the line. In the example below, quotes are used as distinctive characters. (The characters that surround the capture are not included during interpolation, just the contents between them.)
