 ## Specifying Valid File Extensions
 
-By default, PHP_CodeSniffer will check any file it finds with a `.inc`, `.php`, `.js` or `.css` extension, although not all standards will actually check all these file types. Sometimes, this means that PHP_CodeSniffer is not checking enough of your files. Sometimes, the opposite is true. PHP_CodeSniffer allows you to specify a list of valid file extensions using the `--extensions` command line argument. Extensions are separated by commas.

-By default, PHP_CodeSniffer assumes all sniffs are designed to check PHP code only. You can specify a list of tokenizers that your sniff supports, allowing it to be used with PHP, JavaScript or CSS files, or any combination of the three. You do this by setting the `$supportedTokenizers` property in your sniff. Adding the following code to your sniff will tell PHP_CodeSniffer that it can be used to check both PHP and JavaScript code:
-
-```php
-/**
- * A list of tokenizers this sniff supports.
- *
- * @var array<string>
- */
-public $supportedTokenizers = [
-    'PHP',
-    'JS',

 ## What does PHP_CodeSniffer use to tokenize my code?
 
-For PHP files, PHP_CodeSniffer uses [PHP's inbuilt tokenizer functions](http://www.php.net/tokenizer) to parse your code. It then modifies that output to include much more data about the file, such as matching function braces to function keywords.
-
-For all other file types, PHP_CodeSniffer includes a custom tokenizer that either makes use of PHP's inbuilt tokenizer or emulates it. In both cases, the token array must be checked and changed manually before all the standard PHP_CodeSniffer matching rules are applied, making tokenizing a bit slower for these file types.
