Re: Printing Code from LPEX

If you want to leave tokenizing on (so you get colorful source in LPEX),
but desire to print without it, just enter

Print tokenized off

Enter that in the command line at the bottom of the LPEX pane.

OK - help in WDSC is tough to work with sometimes. I just went to the
little command line below the source view and entered "help print" and
hit enter. Got me to the help for the print command. Then I saw the link

to the "print.tokenized parameter". This led me to some info, including
this clip -

"...the *print* command will use the current style attributes to print
the current view's document text..."

So I guess tokenized means that the printing will use what is defined in

Preferences->LPEX Editor->Appearance in the Styles list therein. That's
what I have seen, at any rate. On a B&W printer, you get shading for the

various colors you see in the editor view.

Again, that's not the same as extracting tokens from a string.

Yikes, that's a lot of work to get information!!

Unfortunately the help text I found was very generic and only

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.

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.

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

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.
