-Another feature of this class is that it may return the delimiter which
-was found after the token with it. In a simple case like above, you are not
-interested in this because the delimiter is always {\tt ':'}, but if the
-delimiters string has several characters, you might need to know which of them
-follows the current token. In this case, pass {\tt TRUE} to wxStringTokenizer
-constructor or \helpref{SetString}{wxstringtokenizersetstring} method and
-the delimiter will be appended to each returned token (except for the last
-one).
+By default, wxStringTokenizer will behave in the same way as {\tt strtok()} if
+the delimiters string only contains white space characters but, unlike the
+standard function, it will return empty tokens if this is not the case. This
+is helpful for parsing strictly formatted data where the number of fields is
+fixed but some of them may be empty (i.e. {\tt TAB} or comma delimited text
+files).
+
+The behaviour is governed by the last 
+\helpref{constructor}{wxstringtokenizerwxstringtokenizer}/\helpref{SetString}{wxstringtokenizersetstring} 
+parameter {\tt mode} which may be one of the following:
+
+\twocolwidtha{5cm}%
+\begin{twocollist}\itemsep=0pt
+\twocolitem{{\tt wxTOKEN\_DEFAULT}}{Default behaviour (as described above):
+same as {\tt wxTOKEN\_STRTOK} if the delimiter string contains only
+whitespaces, same as {\tt wxTOKEN\_RET\_EMPTY} otherwise}
+\twocolitem{{\tt wxTOKEN\_RET\_EMPTY}}{In this mode, the empty tokens in the
+middle of the string will be returned, i.e. {\tt "a::b:"} will be tokenized in
+three tokens `a', `' and `b'. Notice that all trailing delimiters are ignored
+in this mode, not just the last one, i.e. a string \texttt{"a::b::"} would
+still result in the same set of tokens.}
+\twocolitem{{\tt wxTOKEN\_RET\_EMPTY\_ALL}}{In this mode, empty trailing tokens
+(including the one after the last delimiter character) will be returned as
+well. The string \texttt{"a::b:"} will be tokenized in four tokens: the already
+mentioned ones and another empty one as the last one and a string 
+\texttt{"a::b::"} will have five tokens.}
+\twocolitem{{\tt wxTOKEN\_RET\_DELIMS}}{In this mode, the delimiter character
+after the end of the current token (there may be none if this is the last
+token) is returned appended to the token. Otherwise, it is the same mode as 
+\texttt{wxTOKEN\_RET\_EMPTY}. Notice that there is no mode like this one but
+behaving like \texttt{wxTOKEN\_RET\_EMPTY\_ALL} instead of 
+\texttt{wxTOKEN\_RET\_EMPTY}, use \texttt{wxTOKEN\_RET\_EMPTY\_ALL} and 
+\helpref{GetLastDelimiter()}{wxstringtokenizergetlastdelimiter} to emulate it.}
+\twocolitem{{\tt wxTOKEN\_STRTOK}}{In this mode the class behaves exactly like
+the standard {\tt strtok()} function: the empty tokens are never returned.}
