+## Processors
+
+Normally JavaScript content inside JSDoc tags is not discoverable by ESLint.
+`eslint-plugin-jsdoc` offers a processor which allows ESLint to parse `@example`
+and other tag text for JavaScript so that it can be linted.
+
+The approach below works in ESLint 9. For ESLint 7, please see our [`check-examples`](./rules/check-examples.md#readme) rule.
+
+The approach requires that we first indicate the JavaScript files that will be checked for `@example` tags.
+
+```js
+export default [
+  {
+    files: ['**/*.js'],
+    plugins: {
+      examples: getJsdocProcessorPlugin({
+        // Enable these options if you want the `someDefault` inside of the
+        //   following to be checked in addition to `@example`:
+        //     1. `@default someDefault`
+        //     2. `@param [val=someDefault]`,
+        //     3. `@property [val=someDefault]`
+        // checkDefaults: true,
+        // checkParams: true,
+        // checkProperties: true
+      })
+    },
+    processor: 'examples/examples'
+  },
+],
+```
+
+Now you can target the JavaScript inside these `@example` or default blocks
+by the following:
+
+```js
+  // Since `@example` JavaScript often follows the same rules as JavaScript in
+  //  Markdown, we use the `.md` extension as the parent by default:
+  {
+    files: ['**/*.md/*.js'],
+    rules: {
+      // Enable or disable rules for `@example` JavaScript here
+    }
+  },
+  {
+    files: ['**/*.jsdoc-defaults', '**/*.jsdoc-params', '**/*.jsdoc-properties'],
+    rules: {
+      // Enable or disable rules for `@default`, `@param`, or `@property`
+      //    JavaScript here
+    }
+  }
+```
+
+Alternatively you can just use our built-in configs which do the above for you:
+
+```js
+import jsdoc from 'eslint-plugin-jsdoc';
+
+export default [
+  ...index.configs.examples
+
+  // Or for @default, @param and @property default expression processing
+  // ...index.configs['default-expressions']
+
+  // Or for both, use:
+  // ...jsdoc.configs['examples-and-default-expressions'],
+];
+```
+
+These configs also disable certain rules which are rarely useful in an
+`@example` or default context. For example both kinds disable the rule
+`no-unused-vars` since it is common for short demos to show how to declare
+a variable, but not how to use it.
+
+Default expressions are usually even more strict as they are typically not
+going to form a whole statement, but just an expression. With the following:
+
+```js
+/**
+ * @param [abc=someDefault]
+ */
+function quux (abc) {}
+```
+
+...`someDefault` can be checked as JavaScript, but we don't want rules like
+`no-unused-expressions` firing, since we're not going to use the expression
+here.
+
+For defaults, a couple rules are enabled which are usually useful:
+
+- `quotes` - Set to `double`. It is more common within this
+  context for double quotes to be used.
+- `semi` - Set to 'never' since a semi-colon is not desirable in this context.
+
+### Options
+
+#### `checkDefaults`
+
+Whether to check `@default` tags. Defaults to `false`.
+
+#### `checkExamples`
+
+Whether to check `@example` tags. Defaults to `true`.
+
+#### `checkParams`
+
+Whether to check `@param [name=someDefaultValue]` content. Defaults to `false`.
+
+#### `checkProperties`
+
+Whether to check `@property [name=someDefaultValue]` content. Defaults to `false`.
+
+#### `captionRequired`
+
+Whether to require the JSDoc `<caption></caption>` content inside the `@example`
+tag. Defaults to `false`.
+
+#### `paddedIndent`
+
+The number of spaces to assume at the beginning of each line. Defaults to 0. Should
+only have an effect on whitespace-based rules.
+
+#### `matchingFileName`
+#### `matchingFileNameDefaults`
+#### `matchingFileNameParams`
+#### `matchingFileNameProperties`
+
+See the [`check-examples`](./rules/check-examples.md#readme) option of the
+same name.
+
+#### `exampleCodeRegex` and `rejectExampleCodeRegex`
+
+See the [`check-examples`](./rules/check-examples.md#readme) option of the
+same name.
+
+#### `sourceType`
+
+Whether to use "script" or "module" with the parser. Defaults to `"module"`.
+
+#### `parser`
+
+An alternative parser which has a `parseForESLint` method and returns the AST
+on the `ast` property (like `typescript-eslint`). Defaults to using ESLint's
+Espree parser.
