comment

let comment = Util.comment

empty

let empty = Util.empty

Separators

sep_spc

let sep_spc = Util.del_ws_spc

This matches an entry which takes 3 integers as arguments representing red, green and blue components

entry_xy

let entry_xy (canon:string) (re:regexp) = [ indent . del re canon . label canon . [ label "x" . sep_spc . store int ] . [ label "y" . sep_spc . store int ] . eol ]
