This is a lexical component that can be used instead of StdLexical to build a parser for a language that has "indentation syntax" or "off-side rule syntax".

Refer to ToyParser.scala in the project as an example of how to add this to your parser. There is nothing special about the "toy" language that has been included: it doesn't even have loop constructs or a way to define functions. It was just created to demonstrate how to use class IndentationLexical.

In ToyParser.scala, the main source lines of interest are

def parse( r: Reader[Char] ) = phrase( source )( lexical.read(r) )

import lexical.{Newline, Indent, Dedent}

Although IndentationLexical extends StdLexical, you do not create an instance of Scanner as you would normally. IndentationLexical has it's own scanner.
