Interesting, so with some cleanups we can have the Nelua grammar in EBNF. And nice idea on LPegRex converting its grammar to EBNF, looks like it should not be that difficult, I may visit that in the future so I could add Nelua EBNF grammar to the documentation. |

Comparing LPegRex to EBNF, during parsing procedure, will there be any performance improvement, or is it something that doesn't matter? |

Using this online tool https://www.bottlecaps.de/convert/ to convert the cleaned up
syntaxdefs.lua
in an EBNF understood by https://www.bottlecaps.de/rr/ui we can have a nice railroad diagram (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syntax_diagram).Ideally the https://github.com/edubart/lpegrex would have an option to output naked/EBNF grammar for debugging and manipulation with other tools like I did here https://github.com/mingodad/lalr-parser-test for bison/byacc/lemon.
Copy and paste the EBNF shown bellow at https://www.bottlecaps.de/rr/ui on the tab

then click on the tabView Diagram
