they are explicitly specified. Two or more consecutive white space characters are treated as
a single separator.

The following call to the dw.getTokens() function returns the tokens that come after it:
dreamweaver.getTokens('foo("my arg1", 34)', '(),')
■ foo
■ "my arg 1"
■ 34
dreamweaver.latin1ToNative()

Arguments
