Re: [Grammatica-users] Constructing a new-line sensitive grammar.

[Per Cederberg]

I think the problem is that the newline sequence in
Windows is \r\n and not the other way around. But
you could support both:

NEWLINE    = <<\n\r|\r\n|[\n\r]>>

Or if you don't care about the number of newlines
at all:

NEWLINE    = <<[\n\r]+>>

Hope this helps!
