It depends on the language, and what you want to add. Basically the  
way you can do it is to have a grammar with your rules in it, then at  
the bottom include the Latex grammar. Being that your rules are  
higher they will take precedence. However anytime a begin/end rule in  
the Latex grammar is descended into only it's patterns array is  
active, so inside that your rules wouldn't be active.

That's the recommended way.
