Codemirror - adding new keywords to a syntax highlighting file

I have just come across Codemirror.

I would like to know how to create my own Syntax files (for a toy language), or extend the Syntax file of an existing language with new keywords - however, I can't find any documentation on how to get started.

Has anyone any links on docs that that show how to do this?

You can also try the recently created keyword.js CodeMirror addon can for this purpose.

http://codemirror.net/doc/manual.html

In the second paragraph it says: "The distribution comes with a few modes (see the mode/ directory), and it isn't hard to write new ones for other languages."

So simply scroll down on that page to the "Writing CodeMirror Modes" part.
