# module RDoc::TokenStream

A TokenStream is a list of tokens, gathered during the parse of some entity (say a method). Entities populate these streams by being registered with the lexer. Any class can collect tokens by including TokenStream. From the outside, you use such an object by calling the #start_collecting_tokens method, followed by calls to #add_token and pop_token.

### Public Class Methods

Converts `token_stream` to HTML wrapping various tokens with `<span>` elements. The following tokens types are wrapped in spans with the given class names:

TkCONSTANT

  ‘ruby-constant’

TkKW

  ‘ruby-keyword’

TkIVAR

  ‘ruby-ivar’

TkOp

  ‘ruby-operator’

TkId

  ‘ruby-identifier’

TkNode

  ‘ruby-node’

TkCOMMENT

  ‘ruby-comment’

TkREGEXP

  ‘ruby-regexp’

TkSTRING

  ‘ruby-string’

TkVal

  ‘ruby-value’

Other token types are not wrapped in spans.
