# 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.

Converts `token_stream` to HTML wrapping various tokens with `<span>` elements. Some tokens types are wrapped in spans with the given class names. Other token types are not wrapped in spans.
