   2  Description
   3  ===========
   4  Token module provides a centralized API for text substitution. Unless
   5  you're installing another Drupal module that requires it, this software
   6  is probably unnecessary.

  10  Benefits
  11  ========
  12  If you're a Drupal developer, check out API.txt for detailed instructions
  13  on using the Token API. It allows every module to announce the placeholder
  14  tokens they can handle, uses simple caching to prevent duplicated work in
  15  a given page-view, and is pretty lightweight. It's nice. You'll like it.
