Description Khumba 2015-10-31 03:04:23 UTC

Hello,

I'd like to request that the file extensions .hs-boot and .lhs be recognized as Haskell sources by default in Kate.  .hs-boot is a bootstrap module (a simplified form of an .hs file) that GHC uses to compile mutually recursive modules[1][2] and isn't uncommon, and .lhs is a Literate Haskell program[3][4].

I'm assuming that this is part of Kate, since the Haskell extensions recognized by Kate (.hs, .chs) are different from my KDE's (system's?) MIME configuration (.hs, .lhs).  (Kate 3.14.8, KDE 4.14.8, Gentoo amd64.)

[2] https://wiki.haskell.org/Mutually_recursive_modules
[3] https://www.haskell.org/onlinereport/literate.html
[4] https://wiki.haskell.org/Literate_programming

Reproducible: Always

Comment 1 Dominik Haumann 2017-07-23 22:59:53 UTC

For lhs files there already is a separate "Literate Haskell" highlighting.

So just adding .hs-boot to haskell should be good enough, or rather add it to literate haskell?

Comment 2 Khumba 2017-07-23 23:42:46 UTC

Just to Haskell, please and thanks.  .hs-boot files use the same syntax as .hs files (specifically a subset, but it doesn't matter for highlighting).
