Could one of you write a small paragraph for the petit parser chapter?

Exactly...

This happens so often that we should add some warning somewhere in these cases....

So you just have to remove the #star in notA or replace it by #plus to makes it succeed only when it consume at least one character

With x, x it will only go to 2 level deep.

With the plus you allow to go as far as the x rule succeed and your x rule always succeed because notA always succeed due to the star without consuming anything so you fall into infinite loop.

There is something about plus that I don���t understand. In the following code if I parse for (x , x) then I get what I expect. If I parse for (x plus) then the image hangs. What am I doing wrong?

a := $a asParser.

x := a / notA.

y := x plus. ���never finishes���
