Version: kate (using KDE KDE 3.5.7) Installed from: Unspecified I heavily updated javascript syntax highlightning ;).
Created attachment 21305 [details] update
Could you give a brief overview about the changes you did to it?
Methods and properties are now in different lists. Full DOM (IE and Gecko) syntax highlightning, added more objects, style properties and some more.
This update contains problems. The methods list is tried in the root context, so that a very common variable name 'item' is highlighted in red when passed as an argument. I think the methods keyword list should only be tried when relevant, since it contains several common words. Same goes for some of the other lists, the 'properties' list most prominently. Are those relevant without a parent object (object.property, object.method)? The red color used is also not a good idea, as it is the default color for strings. Finally, the update does not adhere the indentation profile of the file, indenting with 2 spaces. These issues, as a minimum, needs to be addressed. There may be more, I only did a quick test with a few files.
I only added some more text to highlight. I am not capable of managing highlighting rules so maybe someone other could try to fix this.
Ok, I'll try to find time for it at some point :)
Sorry, nobody had time to fix this. Perhaps resubmit a new patch to current kate.git (like seen on kate-editor.org).
