I tried the first two yellow blocks in this article

http://www.bluishcoder.co.nz/2007/11/embedded-grammars-in-factor.html

The first block I put on a word, and it compiled.  The next three evaluables
didn't not work.  For example

"123" number parse

raised an exception

(U) Quotation: [ set-namestack init-catchstack self quot>> call -> stop ]
(O) Word: listener-thread
(O) Word: listener
(O) Word: (listener)
(U) Quotation: [
        [ ~quotation~ dip swap ~quotation~ dip ] dip swap
        [ call datastack ] dip -> swap [ set-datastack ] dip
    ]
(U) Quotation: [ call -> datastack ]
(O) Method: M\ object parse
(O) Word: no-method
(O) Method: M\ object throw
(U) Quotation: [
        63 special-object error-thread set-global
        continuation -> error-continuation set-global
        [ original-error set-global ] [ rethrow ] bi
    ]

Why have you color-coded the "parse" words in the HTML?

Read the help for peg.ebnf. You can do this with the following in the
listener:

  "peg.ebnf" about

Also these blog posts:

http://www.bluishcoder.co.nz/2007/11/embedded-grammars-in-factor.html
http://www.bluishcoder.co.nz/2008/04/factor-parsing-dsl.html
http://www.bluishcoder.co.nz/2008/06/parsing-javascript-with-factor.html

The code in them is slightly out of date but combined with the
peg.ebnf help you should be able to get the idea. There are a few
peg.ebnf usage examples for a JavaScript grammar, a PL0 grammar and an
expression calculator in the Factor source.

My PDF of articles might have more up to date code examples than the blog
posts:
