WP_HTML_Tag_Processor::get_token_type(): string|null

In this article

Indicates the kind of matched token, if any.

Description

This differs from get_token_name() in that it always returns a static string indicating the type, whereas get_token_name() may return values derived from the token itself, such as a tag name or processing instruction tag.

Possible values:

  • #tag when matched on a tag.
  • #text when matched on a text node.
  • #cdata-section when matched on a CDATA node.
  • #comment when matched on a comment.
  • #doctype when matched on a DOCTYPE declaration.
  • #presumptuous-tag when matched on an empty tag closer.
  • #funky-comment when matched on a funky comment.

Return

string|null What kind of token is matched, or null.
