Bug ID: 397801
Summary: File modula-2.xml does not actually represent Modula-2
Product: kate
Version: unspecified
Platform: unspecified
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: syntax
Assignee: kwrite-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: trijez...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
The modula-2.xml file available at:
https://kate-editor.org/syntax/update-5.36.xml does not actually represent
Modula-2.
Whoever made this xml file must have copied it from some other language and
then modified it but without knowing Modula-2. The file does not represent any
dialect of Modula-2.
Anyway, I have made a replacement xml file for the classic Modula-2 dialect as
defined in Niklaus Wirth's "Programming in Modula-2", 4th edition (most recent)
published by Springer, Heidelberg.
I have also made a test source file and tested this.
It can be downloaded from my Github repo at:
https://github.com/trijezdci/M2-Syntax-Colour/tree/master/Kate
Known Limitation: Modula-2 permits nesting of comments, but it is not clear to
me how to do this with Kate's syntax highlighting specification model.
