 \section{\class{wxStringTokenizer}}\label{wxstringtokenizer}
 
-wxStringTokenizer helps you to break a string up into a number of tokens.
+wxStringTokenizer helps you to break a string up into a number of tokens. It
+replaces the standard C function {\tt strtok()} and also extends it in a
+number of ways.
+
+To use this class, you should create a wxStringTokenizer object, give it the
+string to tokenize and also the delimiters which separate tokens in the string
+(by default, white space characters will be used).
+
+Then \helpref{GetNextToken}{wxstringtokenizergetnexttoken} may be called
+repeatedly until it \helpref{HasMoreTokens}{wxstringtokenizerhasmoretokens} 
+returns FALSE.
+
+For example:
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+
+wxStringTokenizer tkz("first:second:third:fourth", ":");
+while ( tkz.HasMoreTokens() )
+{
+    wxString token = tkz.GetNextToken();
+
+    // process token here
+}
+\end{verbatim}
+
+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'.}
+\twocolitem{{\tt wxTOKEN\_RET\_EMPTY\_ALL}}{In this mode, empty trailing token
+(after the last delimiter character) will be returned as well. The string as
+above will contain four tokens: the already mentioned ones and another empty
+one as the last one.}
+\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 
+{\tt wxTOKEN\_RET\_EMPTY}.}
+\twocolitem{{\tt wxTOKEN\_STRTOK}}{In this mode the class behaves exactly like
+the standard {\tt strtok()} function. The empty tokens are never returned.}
+\end{twocollist}
