WebStyler: The TToken object

Each instance of a TToken object represents one of the tokens (atomic units) that make up a template. It is basically a shell that holds a pointer to an ``expander'' method that can be used later to expand this token. Methods:

• T_Token_New() is the constructor.
• T_Token_Expand() is called to expand this token.

Here are the expander methods. Each one writes its expansion to an output file that is passed to it as an argument. A Body object is also required, since the expansion of a token depends on attributes of the body file.

• T_Token_Literal() expands to literal text. This token type represents all the parts of the template that are not special WebStyler format codes.
• T_Token_Author() expands the %author; tag.
• T_Token_Body() expands the %body; tag.
• T_Token_Else() expands the %else; tag.
• T_Token_Endif() expands the %endif; tag.
• T_Token_If_Next() expands the %ifNext; tag.
• T_Token_If_Prev() expands the %ifPrev; tag.
• T_Token_If_See() expands the %ifSee; tag.
• T_Token_Next_Title() expands the %nextTitle; tag.
• T_Token_Next_URL() expands the %nextURL; tag.
• T_Token_Prev_Title() expands the %prevTitle; tag.
• T_Token_Prev_URL() expands the %prevURL; tag.
• T_Token_See() expands the %seeAlso; tag.
• T_Token_Title() expands the %title; tag.
• T_Token_URL() expands the %url; tag.
• T_Token_Updated() expands the %updated; tag.
