   <rule name="entry">
      <alt>
         <literal tmark="-" string="@"/>
         <nonterminal mark="@" name="type"/>
         <repeat0>
            <nonterminal name="s"/>
         </repeat0>

         <repeat0>
            <nonterminal name="s"/>
         </repeat0>
         <nonterminal mark="@" name="citekey"/>
         <option>
            <nonterminal name="fields"/>
