        `hyperlink` - Whether this token is a hyperlink.

    - #### createOccurrenceMarker

          protected OccurrenceMarker createOccurrenceMarker()

      Returns the occurrence marker to use for this token maker. Subclasses can override to use different implementations.
      Returns:
        The occurrence marker to use.

    - #### getClosestStandardTokenTypeForInternalType

          public int getClosestStandardTokenTypeForInternalType​(int type)

      Returns the closest `"standard" token type` for a given "internal" token type (e.g. one whose value is `< 0`).

      The default implementation returns `type` always, which denotes that a mapping from internal token types to standard token types is not defined; subclasses can override.

      Specified by:
        `getClosestStandardTokenTypeForInternalType` in interface `TokenMaker`
      Parameters:
        `type` - The token type.
      Returns:
        The closest "standard" token type.

    - #### getCurlyBracesDenoteCodeBlocks

          public boolean getCurlyBracesDenoteCodeBlocks​(int languageIndex)

      Returns whether this programming language uses curly braces ('`{`' and '`}`') to denote code blocks. The default implementation returns `false`; subclasses can override this method if necessary.
      Specified by:
        `getCurlyBracesDenoteCodeBlocks` in interface `TokenMaker`
      Parameters:
        `languageIndex` - The language index at the offset in question. Since some `TokenMaker`s effectively have nested languages (such as JavaScript in HTML), this parameter tells the `TokenMaker` what sub-language to look at.
      Returns:
        Whether curly braces denote code blocks.

    - #### getInsertBreakAction

          public Action getInsertBreakAction()

      Returns an action to handle "insert break" key presses (i.e. Enter). The default implementation returns `null`. Subclasses can override.
      Specified by:
        `getInsertBreakAction` in interface `TokenMaker`
      Returns:
        The default implementation always returns `null`.

    - #### getLanguageIndex

          protected int getLanguageIndex()

      Returns the current language index.
      Returns:
        The current language index.
      See Also:
        `setLanguageIndex(int)`

    - #### getLastTokenTypeOnLine

          public int getLastTokenTypeOnLine​(Segment text,
                                            int initialTokenType)

      Returns the last token on this line's type if the token is "unfinished", or `TokenTypes.NULL` if it was finished. For example, if C-style syntax highlighting is being implemented, and `text` contained a line of code that contained the beginning of a comment but no end-comment marker ("*\/"), then this method would return `TokenTypes.COMMENT_MULTILINE` for that line. This is useful for doing syntax highlighting.
      Specified by:
        `getLastTokenTypeOnLine` in interface `TokenMaker`
      Parameters:
        `text` - The line of tokens to examine.
        `initialTokenType` - The token type to start with (i.e., the value of `getLastTokenTypeOnLine` for the line before `text`).
      Returns:
        The last token on this line's type, or `TokenTypes.NULL` if the line was completed.

    - #### getLineCommentStartAndEnd

          public String[] getLineCommentStartAndEnd​(int languageIndex)

      Returns the text to place at the beginning and end of a line to "comment" it in this programming language.
      Specified by:
        `getLineCommentStartAndEnd` in interface `TokenMaker`
      Parameters:
        `languageIndex` - The language index at the offset in question. Since some `TokenMaker`s effectively have nested languages (such as JavaScript in HTML), this parameter tells the `TokenMaker` what sub-language to look at.
      Returns:
        The start and end strings to add to a line to "comment" it out. A `null` value for either means there is no string to add for that part. A value of `null` for the array means this language does not support commenting/uncommenting lines.

    - #### getMarkOccurrencesOfTokenType

          public boolean getMarkOccurrencesOfTokenType​(int type)

      Returns whether tokens of the specified type should have "mark occurrences" enabled for the current programming language. The default implementation returns true if `type` is `TokenTypes.IDENTIFIER`. Subclasses can override this method to support other token types, such as `TokenTypes.VARIABLE`.
      Specified by:
        `getMarkOccurrencesOfTokenType` in interface `TokenMaker`
      Parameters:
        `type` - The token type.
      Returns:
        Whether tokens of this type should have "mark occurrences" enabled.

    - #### getOccurrenceMarker

          public OccurrenceMarker getOccurrenceMarker()

      Returns the object in charge of marking all occurrences of the token at the current caret position, if it is a relevant token. If `null` is returned, a default `OccurrenceMarker` is used.
      Specified by:
        `getOccurrenceMarker` in interface `TokenMaker`
      Returns:
        The occurrence marker for this language, or `null` for none.

    - #### getShouldIndentNextLineAfter

          public boolean getShouldIndentNextLineAfter​(Token token)

      The default implementation returns `false` always. Languages that wish to better support auto-indentation can override this method.
      Specified by:
        `getShouldIndentNextLineAfter` in interface `TokenMaker`
      Parameters:
        `token` - The token the previous line ends with.
      Returns:
        Whether the next line should be indented.

    - #### isIdentifierChar

          public boolean isIdentifierChar​(int languageIndex,
                                          char ch)

      Returns whether a character could be part of an "identifier" token in a specific language. The default implementation returns `true` for letters, numbers, and certain symbols.
      Specified by:
        `isIdentifierChar` in interface `TokenMaker`
      Parameters:
        `languageIndex` - The language index the character was found in.
        `ch` - The character.
      Returns:
        Whether the character could be part of an "identifier" token.

    - #### isMarkupLanguage

          public boolean isMarkupLanguage()

      The default implementation returns `false` always. Subclasses that are highlighting a markup language should override this method to return `true`.
      Specified by:
        `isMarkupLanguage` in interface `TokenMaker`
      Returns:
        `false` always.

    - #### resetTokenList

          protected void resetTokenList()

      Deletes the linked list of tokens so we can begin anew. This should never have to be called by the programmer, as it is automatically called whenever the user calls `getLastTokenTypeOnLine(Segment, int)` or `TokenMaker.getTokenList(Segment, int, int)`.

    - #### setLanguageIndex

          protected void setLanguageIndex​(int languageIndex)

      Sets the language index to assign to tokens moving forward. This property is used to designate tokens as being in "secondary" languages (such as CSS or JavaScript in HTML).
      Parameters:
        `languageIndex` - The new language index. A value of `0` denotes the "main" language, any positive value denotes a specific secondary language. Negative values will be treated as `0`.

        `getLanguageIndex()`
