// A framework for simple tokenizers. Takes care of newlines and
// white-space, and of getting the text from the source stream into
// the token object. A state is a function of two arguments -- a
// string stream and a setState function. The second can be used to
// change the tokenizer's state, and can be ignored for stateless
// tokenizers. This function should advance the stream over a token
// and return a string or object containing information about the next
// token, or null to pass and have the (new) state be called to finish
// the token. When a string is given, it is wrapped in a {style, type}
// object. In the resulting object, the characters consumed are stored
// under the content property. Any whitespace following them is also
// automatically consumed, and added to the value property. (Thus,
// content is the actual meaningful part of the token, while value
// contains all the text it spans.)
function tokenizer(source, state) {
// Newlines are always a separate token.
function isWhiteSpace(ch) {
// The messy regexp is because IE's regexp matcher is of the
// opinion that non-breaking spaces are no whitespace.
return ch != "\n" && /^[\s\u00a0]*$/.test(ch);
}
var tokenizer = {
state: state,
take: function (type) {

type.content = (type.content || "") + source.get();
