Remarks

Non-terminal symbols represent sequences of zero or more symbols which have been parsed in a document. The possible sequences a non-terminal symbol can represent are described by the SyntaxRule hierarchy owned by the symbol, which is exposed by the Rule property.

When the parser is analyzing a document and it determines a non-terminal symbol correctly represents a sequence of other symbols, a SyntaxNode will be created for it in the SyntaxTree. The SyntaxNode of the root of the tree will always be associated with the non-terminal symbol designated by the Grammar.StartSymbol.
