Description hololeap 2023-01-05 18:12:33 UTC

Cabal files are description files for Haskell packages using the Cabal library/executable. Syntax highlighting is available for other text editors and should be available for KDE applications as well. This would also allow haskell-language-server to be used on .cabal files in kate.

Vim (the first is for .cabal files, the others are for related file types):
