Hello from beautiful Rome, Your plugin description is fine, but unless your parser also provides context information, it will be completely useless to phpDocumentor. For instance: token T_STRING is passed in. Is it a constant? Is it a class member? ($this->member, or even $this->member->submember)? Is it a function/class declaration? (function functionname) The highlighting parser *must* have this information available, or there is no way to do cross-referencing (linking from the token to documentation, or to its declaration in the source).

IMO, parser itself does not have to know anything about context - it is the job of syntax analyzer, and this functionality could be implemented within the plugin. Like, after recieving T_VARIABLE $this, it expects next T_STRING to be either a method name or a member name (some tricks may be neeeded here, as it is possible to have a method and a member with same name)
