Re: BNF Syntax in Lua Reference Guide 5.2 broken

I tend to think that a valid Lua program would be:
snip 8-<
;

-8 snap

But it isn't:

lua -e "io.stdout:setvbuf 'no'" "test.lua"

lua: test.lua:1: unexpected symbol near ';'

Exit code: 1

Is the BNF code missleading (or wrong), or am I ?

It works just fine for me.
But... are you actually using Lua 5.2?
What does running "lua -v" say?
Ashwin.

Thanks, that was the problem.
I was using 5.1, because my PATH was not updated.
