I have looked at the parser and rendering api. I think we can integrate with
the jface editor in the following way

We can extract blocks from the  XDOM object created by the parser.Then if we
can find a way to map these blocks with non overlapping partitions defined
in the jface,then it seems like we can integrate both.As I have realised
partitions need the offset and the length with respect to the xwiki
document.I think we need to add 2 methods to the Block inteface to get the
offset and the length.

According to my current undestanding we need to impliment the
IDocumentPartitioner inteface and use the excisting xwiki parser in thet
implimentation.The main perpose of the implimentation is to map the blocks
in to partitions.

please give  your  comments on this
