/**
 * @file
 * Drupal placeholder/token replacement system.
 *
 * Provides a set of extensible API functions for replacing placeholders in text
 * with meaningful values.
 *
 * For example: When configuring automated emails, an administrator enters standard
 * text for the email. Variables like the title of a node and the date the email
 * was sent can be entered as placeholders like [node:title] and [date:short].
 * When a Drupal module prepares to send the email, it can call the token_replace()
 * function, passing in the text. The token system will scan the text for placeholder
 * tokens, give other modules an opportunity to replace them with meaningful text,
 * then return the final product to the original module.
 *
 * Tokens follow the form: [$type:$name], where $type is a general class of
 * tokens like 'node', 'user', or 'comment' and $name is the name of a given
 * placeholder. For example, [node:title].
 *
 * In addition to raw text containing placeholders, modules may pass in an array
 * of objects to be used when performing the replacement. The objects should be
 * keyed by the token type they correspond to. For example:
 *
 * @code
 * // Load a node and a user, then replace tokens in the text.
 * $text = 'On [date:short], [user:name] read [node:title].';
 * $node = node_load(1);
 * $user = user_load(1);
 *
 * // [date:...] tokens use the current date automatically.
 * $data = array('node' => $node, 'user' => $user);
 * return token_replace($text, $data);
 * @endcode
 *
 * Some tokens may be chained in the form of [$type:$pointer:$name], where $type
 * is a normal token type, $pointer is a reference to another token type, and
 * $name is the name of a given placeholder. For example, [node:author:mail]. In
 * that example, 'author' is a pointer to the 'user' account that created the node,
 * and 'mail' is a placeholder available for any 'user'.
 *
 * @see token_replace()
 * @see hook_tokens()
 * @see hook_token_info()

/**
 * Replace all tokens in a given string with appropriate values.

 * @param $text

 * @param $data
 *   (optional) An array of keyed objects. For simple replacement scenarios
 *   'node', 'user', and others are common keys, with an accompanying node or
 *   user object being the value. Some token types, like 'site', do not require
 *   any explicit information from $data and can be replaced even if it is empty.
 * @param $options
 *   (optional) A keyed array of settings and flags to control the token
 *   replacement process. Supported options are:
 *   - language: A language object to be used when generating locale-sensitive
 *     tokens.
 *   - callback: A callback function that will be used to post-process the array
 *     of token replacements after they are generated. For example, a module using
 *     tokens in a text-only email might provide a callback to strip HTML
 *     entities from token values before they are inserted into the final text.
 *   - clear: A boolean flag indicating that tokens should be removed from the
 *     final text if no replacement value can be generated.
 *   - sanitize: A boolean flag indicating that tokens should be sanitized for
 *     display to a web browser. Defaults to TRUE. Developers who set this option
 *     to FALSE assume responsibility for running filter_xss(), check_plain() or
 *     other appropriate scrubbing functions before displaying data to users.
 * @return
 *   Text with tokens replaced.
