Remarks

The IScanner scanner uses this class to provide information about each token parsed. This class identifies the token type, specifies a color index for the token, specifies the start and end characters of the token (relative to the current line being parsed), and specifies any triggers that can be handled based on the token's type. See each property of this class for more details on how and when these properties are used.
