+<h1>Dealing with compilation and other build errors</h1>
+
+<p>After a build finishes, CDT displays the build output in the Console View. The build output shows
+the result of build and a user can inspect it to find out if it was successful or not. To assist with that
+CDT Error Parsers scan build output and create Problem Markers which are presented in a variety of ways:
+<ul>
+ <li>as highlighted lines on the console,</li>
+ <li>in the Problems View,</li>
+ <li>as icon decorators in the Project Explorer on the file, its parent folders and the project,</li>
+ <li>icons in editor's overview rulers,</li>
+ <li>as squiggly line marking the problematic code in editor.</li>
+</ul>
+There are 3 types of Problem Markers: Errors, Warnings and Info. A user can control how the markers are
+generated on "Error Parsers" Preference page.
