Examples:
The following is an example of a marker help extension (note the sub-element and the way attributes are used):


 <extension point="org.eclipse.ui.ide.markerHelp">
  <markerHelp
   markerType="org.eclipse.ui.examples.readmetool.readmemarker"
   helpContextId="org.eclipse.ui.examples.readmetool.marker_example1_context">
   <attribute name="org.eclipse.ui.examples.readmetool.id" value="1234"/>
  </markerHelp>
 </extension>

In the example above, a help context id is associated with markers of type org.eclipse.ui.examples.readmetool.readmemarker whose org.eclipse.ui.examples.readmetool.id attribute has a value of 1234.
