| 791 ; comment (until end of line) | |
| 792 A non-terminal | |
| 793 "C" terminal | |

| 797 $?C? default special | |
| 798 A = B. production (A is the header and B the body) | |
| 799 C D sequence (C occurs before D) | |
| 800 C | D alternative (C or D occurs) | |
| 801 A - B exception (A excluding B, B without any non-terminal) | |
| 802 n * A repetition (A repeats n (integer) times) | |
| 803 (C) group (expression C is grouped together) | |
| 804 [C] optional (C may or not occurs) | |
