Playing with Isabelle's parsers I would like to define new keywords.
My definition of keywords, however, is not accessible within ML blocks
as expected:
theory Xxxxx imports Pure
keywords "yyyyy" :: prf_open
begin
ML \<open>
@{keyword "("} : string parser; (* this works as expected *)
val _ =
Outer_Syntax.command @{command_keyword yyyyy} "dummy definition
yyyyy"
(Scan.succeed (Toplevel.proof Proof.begin_block));
@{keyword "yyyyy"}; (*ERROR Bad outer syntax
keyword "yyyyy"*)
\<close>
end
What I'm doing wrong ?
Thanks in advance, Walther

The @{keyword} antiquotation refers to "minor keywords", but "yyyyy"
above is a "major keyword" for commands, see also Keyword.is_keyword vs.
Keyword.is_command.
Isar command parsers will never see command keywords in their input
stream, because command spans are managed by the system: the next
command keyword starts a new span.
See also my recent paper about "Isabelle/jEdit as Formal IDE"
https://sketis.net/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/isabelle-jedit-fide2018.pdf
on page 4 about "Commands":
"""
Any command is free to define its own concrete syntax, within the token
language of outer syntax of Isabelle theories, but excluding the
keywords of other commands.
