Vern,
Unfortunately the help text I found was very generic and only explained
the basic action of having the Tokenized boxed checked/unchecked. No
explanation further that I found, but then again I didn't go digging too
awful deep.

Re: [WDSCI-L] Printing Code from LPEX






No. Source code has no builtin formatting codes, although some have
added the 5250 display bytes for display on the green screen.

And a "token" is not something that "...controls background and text
colors...". A token, in the most primitive sense, is just a word
separated by some delimiter, often a blank, sometimes a semi-colon. The
C function strtok just gives you back a "token" out of a string - and
uses a delimiter you specify, IIRC.

The "tokenizing" in LPEX is done by LPEX according to certain rules -
sometimes found in a syntax file - TextPad has a similar concept - you
put in a list of various "tokens" and how they should be displayed.

Tokenizing in LPEX is perhaps better called colorization, IMO.

For printing, that colorizing or other emphasis is done by LPEX - and
you can turn it off. Turning it off gives you the plain text. Leaving it
on gives you the colorized effect.

I think there's a little confusion on the use of the word "tokenize" =
probably the fault of the LPEX usage - there's probably some help text
in WDSC that is worth checking on what is going on.

Later
Vern

please pardon my ignorance on this issue.

Does anyone understand why they named that option Tokenized? I must

make me
think it had to do with this issue.



Because tokenizing is the process of breaking up a line of program
script into its "tokens" or component parts. It is one of the
processes used by compilers and context sensitive editors - and I
suppose word processors etc. too.
