The token module provides a centralized API for using placeholders that are replaced by text.
To start off, I suggest reading the module documentation and see the list of modules that use Token. In essence it takes a token like
[user-name]and replaces it to enjoylife or whatever your username is.You cannot use Token in Views as such. But you can use it in CCK, node body, node title etc. which, in turn, can be used in Views.
One simple example of tokens is the Pathauto module — go to /admin/build/path/pathauto and check any of the ‘Node paths’ suggestions.
