    1) Pandoc uses KDE .theme files (JSON) to map a style (color, face, ...) to the various "roles" a piece of your code can have (keyword, operator, property, ...). Check this to learn more about those theme files. You can use this boilerplate as a base to create your custom theme. Refer to this guide for more details about which keys in the .theme file correspond to which parts of the code.

  • Python port of syntax-highlighting (from the Kate editor)
    1 project | /r/kde | 7 Nov 2022
    I'm building an app with Python and Pyside6, and within that, I need to have some syntax highlighting for files. I've found that this can be implemented using QSyntaxHighlighter, however, I was wondering, with apps like Kate and the like, and having stumbled across this, whether there was a Python port: https://github.com/KDE/syntax-highlighting

    2) Pandoc invokes the skylight Haskell library, which uses XML syntax descriptions to define which tokens/pieces of a given language have which "role". Skylight will parse your code and tag each part of it according to those rules. You can edit those XML files (or create new ones). Check this page for a description of how they work. You'll find the existing KDE XML syntax descriptors here.

    I like XML for Kate's syntax highlighting definitions. Check this out, it really blows the TextMate JSON mess out of the water in clarity: https://github.com/KDE/syntax-highlighting/blob/master/data/syntax/context.xml

  • Can Kate editor fold-nest simple tab-based outlines? (Syntax highlighting)
    1 project | /r/kde | 27 Sep 2021
    I agree, it is a bit hard to fully grasp how the syntax highlighting (and folding) definitions work. I think looking at the existing definitions (e.g. the Python syntax definition) greatly helps. Customizing the folding behavior to your particular need might need a bit more rules. I think you can get help on irc://irc.kde.org/kate or #kate on matrix
  • What aspects of Linux needs to be standardized?

    The de-facto standard for spellchecking on Linux is Hunspell. There is also a KDE standard for syntax highlighting (and other apps do use it): https://github.com/KDE/syntax-highlighting
