Strings and Literals?

[Antony Stone]

Hi.

Right at the bottom of 
https://arbtt.nomeata.de/doc/users_guide/configuration.html is stated:

"A String refers to a double-quoted string of characters, while a Literal is 
not quoted."

Just above that in the "formal grammar of categorize.cfg" table 
https://arbtt.nomeata.de/doc/users_guide/configuration.html#grammar is stated:

[3]  Alias  ::=  Literal “->” Literal

So, this tells me that an Alias is an unquoted string, followed by the string 
"->", followed by another unquoted string.

However, the examples at the top of the same page show quote marks around the 
aliases (and their equivalents), and sure enough if I leave the quotes out in 
my own config file, I get:

Parser error:
"morerules.cfg" (line 4, column 3):
unexpected "L"
expecting literal string


(Which then goes on to make me wonder "is a literal string a literal, or a 
string?")


Am I reading the formal grammer wrongly?


Antony.
