The text editor will highlight errors and warnings when you key-in something wrong (e.g. a collinear triangle, a quad with bad vertex sequence, ...). It will also highlight keywords.
The file will be parsed on save. In this process, all errors, warnings and hints will be written to a list on the bottom of the window. You have the option to quick fix the issues if possible.
Finally, the updated 3D model will be rendered on the 3D editor screen.
edit: It might be is possible to implement a real-time parser (I already did it!!)
