<extension point="org.eclipse.ui.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.
API Information: It is up to the developer to ensure that only a single help context id is supplied for a given marker. If two or more help context ids are supplied for a given kind of marker, the workbench does not define which will be returned. However the workbench does define that the "most specific" context id will always be returned for a given marker. That is, a context id associated with three matching attribute values will be returned before a context id associated with only two.
