class CodeRay::Tokens

to load them from a file, and still use any Encoder that CodeRay provides.
It also allows you to generate tokens directly (without using a scanner),
that you put in your DB.
You can convert it to a webpage, a YAML file, or dump it into a gzip’ed string
Tokens gives you the power to handle pre-scanned code very easily:
See how small it is? ;)
# the Tokens object is here ——-^
CodeRay.scan(‘price = 2.59’, :ruby).html
Thus, the syntax below becomes clear:
then builds the output from this object.
The input is split and saved into a Tokens object. The Encoder
Tokens is the interface between Scanners and Encoders:
]
[:end_group, :string]
[‘“’, :delimiter],
[‘a string’, :content],
[‘”’, :delimiter],
[:begin_group, :string],
[
The Ruby scanner, for example, splits “a string” into:
token actions, namely begin_group and end_group.
Some scanners also yield sub-tokens, represented by special
[‘$^’, :error]
[‘3.1415926’, :float]
[‘# It looks like this’, :comment]
A token looks like this:
* the token kind (a Symbol representing the type of the token)
a token action (begin_group, end_group, begin_line, end_line)
* the token text (the original source of the token in a String) or
consisting of
A token is not a special object, just a two-element Array
a Scanner.
The Tokens class represents a list of tokens returnd from

You can configure the level of compression,

so it has an #undump method. See Tokens.load.
The returned String object includes Undumping

In addition, it is gzipped using GZip.gzip.
The dump is created with Marshal.dump;

in files or databases.
Dumps the object into a String that can be saved
