How does one do Intellisense using a Pegged grammar?

[veelo]

You mean you want a language server for a language that is defined by a PEG? You will still have to implement some kind of semantic analyser, a parser alone will be insufficient. A language server needs to build a symbol table, and for that you need to know what rules in the grammar define symbols, and how scope works.

Or do you want some kind of syntax highlighting for the PEG grammar itself?

Yes, the first one.

@veelo do you know of a good article on how to do that using a symbol table as you've mentioned?
