   Is there a bug in DOT generation in ANTL

   I used the example in Terence Parr's "The Definite ANTLR, Building   
   Domain-Specific Languages", page 191 to generate DOT from the abstract   
   syntax table. I directed the result DOT file to "dot -svg" and stored   
   the SVG file. Then I generated an HTML file that contains the program   
   file and its abstract syntax file.   
      
   This was quite nice, since I could read the test program and resulting   
   AST same time. But, if the program has string literals, dot does not   
   understand them (I guess it thinks they are meant as label names), so   
   all strings nodes are empty.   
      
   So, is the problem in ANTLR or DOT and how can I fix it?
