+-- #### Syntax Checking
+--
+-- Textadept has the ability to run a syntax checking tool on source files
+-- immediately after saving them, and automatically does this for a number of
+-- interpreted languages and markup languages. If your language is not supported
+-- (properly or at all), you will have to update the
+-- [`textadept.run.syntax_commands`]() and
+-- [`textadept.run.syntax_error_patterns`]() tables. For Lua, this looks like
+--
+-- textadept.run.syntax_commands.lua = 'luac -p "%f"'
+-- textadept.run.syntax_error_patterns.lua = ':(%d+): ([^\r\n]+)'
+--
+-- This feature really only makes sense for interpreted and markup languages.
+-- Compiled languages should make use of Textadept's "Compile and Run" and error
+-- recognition facilities.
