# text.token

A highlighted piece of code; data-token names it: "tag", "attr", "string" or "punct"

Component: [`<Text>`](https://www.prongs.dev/docs/components/text.md) · Renders: `<span>` · Profile: [UI](https://www.prongs.dev/docs/intents/ui.md)

## Example

```tsx
<Text intent="text.token">Pack my box with five dozen liquor jugs.</Text>
```

## Choosing between neighbours

Find the row that describes your element, and use the intent on the right.

| If it is for… | Use |
|---|---|
| A highlighted piece of code; data-token names it: "tag", "attr", "string" or "punct" | `text.token` (this page) |
| Code named inside a sentence | [`text.snippet`](https://www.prongs.dev/docs/intents/text/snippet.md) |

## Connections

Declared in the registry, both directions. Where an intent is used in your own code is something check and the gallery see; this site has no app code.

## For registry authors

**Starter intents.** These are the intents `prongs add` puts in your registry, shown in this site’s theme. Yours are your own `registry.ts`: rename, restyle and add to them, and see them with `prongs add gallery`.

What this intent is built from and its entry in `components/prongs/registry.ts`. You only need this to change how it looks or to add an intent like it.

How text.token resolves, and its definition

Each layer adds to the one before it; a later class wins over an earlier one that sets the same thing.

- [`tone.default`](https://www.prongs.dev/docs/intents/ui.md#tone-default) — Main text colour

  ```
  text-foreground
  ```

- `text.token` (this page) — A highlighted piece of code; data-token names it: "tag", "attr", "string" or "punct"

  ```
  data-[token=attr]:text-surface-muted
  data-[token=punct]:text-muted-foreground
  data-[token=string]:text-warning data-[token=tag]:text-info
  ```

Final classes

```
text-foreground data-[token=attr]:text-surface-muted
data-[token=punct]:text-muted-foreground
data-[token=string]:text-warning data-[token=tag]:text-info
```
