Florian already corrected this, but I think you are confused with h2pas
which uses some lex/yacc port. (tply)

ptop has an own parser too btw. So that makes at least 4 or 5 parsers in the
combined FPC/lazarus projects

- the compiler's
- fpdoc/fcl-passrc
- ptop
- lazarus codetools
- lazarus syntaxhighlight (different from codetools?)
- Jedi CodeFormat.
