Error Handling for custom editor [message #506299]

I'm new to building plug-ins for eclipse but I'm trying to figure out how to customize my editor. I have a custom editor that partitions my document properly according to a set of rules. The problem is that if the text doesn't match any of the rules, I want to be able to flag it as a problem (x on the line, and in the Problem tab, just like java). Can anyone direct me to some tutorials or any kind of documentation. I didn't create the editor and am just modifying it with the permission of the original creator.

Thanks.

You need to google about problem markers...

These documents indicate that explicit action results in the markers. Now I know there is a way to make it syntax based, perhaps using the scanner, but I can't find anything to that effect. If anyone can show me a project with basic syntax error markers, it would be greatly appreciated.
