A case that come to mind is the parsing of HTML pages that include
{Java,J,VB}Script code. In this case two or more lexer/parser combos would
need to work on the same stream.
How is HTML + JavaScript parsing actually implemented? Does anyone
have any information about this (so I do not have to read the Mozilla
source code)?


Thanks,


Mihai
