| <context> <p>By default, when you edit in a structured text editor, your source | |
| code is validated as you type it in. Like other Eclipse-based editors, the | |
| structured text editors for markup languages flag warnings and errors in the | |
| source code in the editor area. The warnings and errors also show up in the | |
| Tasks view when you save the file.</p><note>Highlighting is fully dynamic | |
| with the exception of search results. Search results are highlighted based | |
| upon what has been saved to disk.</note><note type="tip">You can improve a | |
| structured text editor's performance by turning off the real-time validation.</note><p>To | |
