Description Nico Schlömer 2009-04-13 00:30:48 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE 4.2.2)
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages

Hi,

since the upgrade to 4.2.2, LaTeX highlighting in Kate is no longer possible on my box, no such option anymore in the list. :(

I should also mention once more that the highlighting could very well be extended from merely .tex files to .sty and .cls, both of which are LaTeX (style and class) files and have (almost) the same syntax as .tex files.

By the way, to make the distinction between TeX and LaTeX files, some people prefer to call their LaTeX's .ltx, you might want to add those to the list as well.

Cheers,
Nico

It is there: Tools -> Highlighting -> Markup -> LaTeX.

Not for me. Tools -> Highlighting -> Markup shows

[...]
Kate File Template
MAB-DB
[...]

Could that be a linking/packaging error?

I guess so. See, it is in the 4.2.2 tag:

Alright, I guess it's a Gentoo bug then; I'll post it there. Cheers!
