Ignoring %ignore for a rule?

[jnwatson]

If I have

grammar = r'''
SPACE: " "
%ignore SPACE
start:  foo bar
foo: "foo"
bar: "bar"
'''

LarkParser = lark.Lark(grammar, parser='lalr')
text = 'foo bar'
tree = LarkParser.parse(text)
print(tree)

This parses fine. What if in this case, I don't want to allow a space between the foo and bar rules? Is there a way to ignore the ignore directive for (just one) rule?

No. You can however define a Terminal like this:

start: FOO_BAR

FOO_BAR: FOO BAR

But then FOO and BAR have to be terminals. Inside a terminal %ignore is not applied.

There was however an issue some time ago proposing this: #629

Thank you. I definitely need something along the lines that #629 proposes.
