![]() What is Kate?
Kate is a free open source text editor for Linux KDE distributions, such as Kubuntu (for example). You can have more information here: http://kate-editor.org/ After submitting my highlight extension for Gedit I got this comment ... Quote:

So basically here I am, honoring my promise to this user. I decided to create a highlight extension for KDE users that allows people to have highlights for vJass language and to read ".j" files in an easy manner. I was very surprised when making this extension ... personally I expected Kate to be similar to Gedit, however it turned out to be far more complex for some sections and a little simpler for others. The result was a highlight checker far better than I expected, with almost no limitations at all. With personal experience and after many experiments, I also felt astonished to discover that Kate was more robust that Gedit ... and Kate is a KDE program ... (KDE is known for being bugged, I am surprised Kate evades this principle). Anyway, I can only say that I am totally sure users of Kate will enjoy this program if their intention is a simple highlight checker for vJass. History:
How to install? Kate only needs 1 file called "vJass.xml". To install the plugin follow the steps: 1 - download the file 2 - extract the file 3 - go to "/usr/share/apps/katepart/syntax" 4 - copy vJass.xml there 5 - done! After this simple steps you can access vJass using: Tools -> Highlighting -> Other -> vJass Note: All this process must be done with Kate closed! After this Kate will automatically engage this mode for any ".j" files you open. Hoping KDE users have fun and oping it helps, Flame_Phoenix PS: Btw,I am NOT doing a highlight extension for Xfce if someone asks ... I also have a life you know ... xD Last edited by Flame_Phoenix : 05-09-2009 at 07:01 PM. |

I am also a KDE fan, so it is natural that besides having Ubuntu I also have Kubuntu xD You can dowload the entire system, it will avoid you having to transfer many KDE packages to your Gnome system and besides, the instructions I specify are specific for native KDE Debian systems such as Kubuntu. You may have trouble if you install Kate on Gnome and then try to follow this instructions (the folders may be different). Basically you have to go to your Kate syntax directory and make the changes there. Anyway, I am happy to see your quick reply here. Thx for the attention. Btw, how is the Gedit modding going ? I already made the mosdifications but got now answer =S |

kubuntu's Kate package is exactly the same as ubuntu's Kate package, they use the same folders etc. In fact, it is more likely this will have issues in a debian KDE than in ubuntu itself, since you used kubuntu, though this is not very likely, I don't think distros really change things like these folders. |

![]() These plug-ins as different submissions are lame. You should just have one submission with a pack of plugins for use with different builds of Linux. That would be much more respectable.

![]() I'd rather prefer a single thread for all vjass syntax highlighters, including the already submited notepad++ and that for vim in veroxian's sig.

Further more, why do we have a tools section? We could just create a few threads that can have ALL programs listed by categories ... (irony) If you don't do this for the other programs of the other types (I know you won't...), then don't do it for highlighters. It would simply be a non-cohesive decision... seriously, I appreciate if you want to mod my resource, but since Vexorian is already doing it, and having in mind this has nothing to do with Kate ... I am going to ask you to create another thread to discuss this matter which I consider off-topic. Last edited by Flame_Phoenix : 03-24-2009 at 08:49 PM. |

And I don't know what you're talking about with 'cohesive' decisions. That's not even the proper usage of that word. |

a) They are not applications, they are just extensions for applications, all of which do the same. b) Including syntax highlighters for mac editors would be a must, obviously. Stop just being a jerk. Last edited by Alevice : 03-24-2009 at 11:19 PM. |
