Greetings.

I've spend the last 8 or so hours messing with KATE's ( http://kate-editor.org/ ) XML files, and I've managed to get a basic and functional ruleset going.

So if you utilise a text editor that uses the kate kpart, such as kate, kdevelop, kwrite or qtCreator (they only use the highlighting rules), just grab the following pastebin and save it in ~/.kde4/share/apps/katepart/syntax as cubescript.xml and you should be golden.

Feedback is most welcome and I hope it helps a few of you :)

(and no, I'm not going to convert it for EMACS, vim or <insert favourite editor here>)

#1: Update

by Hirato Kirata on 07/22/2011 17:00

I've made numerous changes since that above post, including fixes, better compliance with the langauge.dtd as well as improved whatever.

In any case, the updated version can be found here

I've also sent it off to the kwrite/kate developers, and it MAY make it into a future release.
If you care to follow mailing lists and what not, you can currently monitor the progress of that here, though I'll warn you it has been mostly uneventful

If you've placed it in an appropriate location, it'll be available under the list of highlighters in the scripts area as CubeScript.

Locations you can place it include
~/.kde/share/apps/katepart/syntax (most distros)
`/.kde4/share/apps/katepart/syntax (other distros)
/usr/share/apps/katepart/syntax

There is no import option (unfortunately)
