Home page example doesn't work as described about site

[tomtau]

@eugenesvk you may need to use the "ident_list" rule (instead of "alpha") -- i.e. select it in the web editor or use Rule::ident_list in your parser Rust code... then you should see the expected behavior.

Oh, I see, so it just doesn't select the most general rule by default, but defaults to the alphabetic sorting

Fairly certain it's actually just the one that's at the top, not the first in alphabetical order

I'm not sure it's possible to generically determine what the top-level rule is, but I think at least for the homepage example the preselection should do the right thing

[tomtau]

Yeah, it's not possible to tell which rule is the top-level one, but perhaps the homepage editor could be pre-filled with that example. @nathanielknight wdyt?

@eugenesvk Thanks for the report; I'm sure you're not the only person who's been caught out by this UX issue.

I think adding this as a default example (perhaps with an explanatory comment) would be an improvement.
