No I wanna admit just ONE space, no more and neither a tab of a
newline instead of the space

It's not what I want. I wanna create a language with very strict rules
that give me an error if I use two spaces instead of one. My problems
are relative to the error catching: every time I create a rule
containing the error token I get the rule never executed. Can I have
some examples of error catching in your yacc/bison files?


what means \f? and \v?
