ConTeXt syntax file for KDE Kate

ConTeXt syntax file for KDE Kate

[Henning Hraban Ramm]

Ahoi!

I'd like to adapt the syntax highlighting of the Kate editor.
But my understanding of XML is too poor...
I just changed some things from the LaTeX mode, as far as I understood.

maybe you can convince patrick to write you an xslt transformation from the 
(still experimental) xml definition of the context syntax as generated by 
"texexec setupe",

since I have to do some other transformations as well and I want to look 
closer into the subject of transformations... Henning, what do I need? 
Kate? I this a free program?

Yes. Homepage is kate.sourceforge.net

You basically need a list of static keywords, without the leading \, enclosed
in <item> tags. The homepage also has a 'howto' section on highlighting
(just checked).

How good is this editor anyway? Anybody knows?

Well, I work with it, 'cause I couldn't find a better one. (I know, I should 
use Emacs, but I will not!) And it's one of the few editors that can handle 
Mac line endings (and convert between Win/Mac/Unix).

It does some syntax highlighting (you know, I try to enhance it) and it looks 
similar to Crimson, that I use on WinNT: The "normal" view of a modern 
programmer's editor with a directory tree and a console. And there's a usable 
(even if not complete) project plug-in.

But Kate has some mis-features (at least at the moment):
-- word wrapping is on or off for all files, and there's only hard wrapping.
-- no line numbering
-- no sort
-- no macros (one could make plugins, but i can't)
-- some strange crashes (but no data loss until now)

Editors are a matter of taste.
I used to use Nedit, that has a nice search bar, but I like german menus and 
a directory tree...

Grüßlis vom Hraban!
