Grammar railroad diagram

[mingodad]

Using some online tools like https://www.bottlecaps.de/rr/ui and https://www.bottlecaps.de/convert/ with https://github.com/p-org/P/blob/master/Src/PCompiler/CompilerCore/Parser/PParser.g4 and https://github.com/p-org/P/blob/master/Src/PCompiler/CompilerCore/Parser/PLexer.g4 joined and commenting //lexer grammar PLexer; we can have a nice navigable railroad diagram.

Copy and paste the EBNF shown bellow on https://www.bottlecaps.de/rr/ui on the tab Edit Grammar the click on the tab View Diagram to see/download a navigable railroad diagram.
