Highlight system ignores "lookAhead" attribute when RegExpr contains placeholders. I found this in VHDL if it matters. Simple VHDL syntax file with placeholder in regex: http://paste.kde.org/pcnwuch06 Test file #1: http://paste.kde.org/pqltrqwx7 (2nd line is not highlighted) Test file #2: http://paste.kde.org/pqltrqwx7 (2nd line is not highlighted, 3rd is highlighted) Simple VHDL syntax file w/o placeholder in regex: http://paste.kde.org/pxc8i5xmt Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Put vhdl.xml (see above) in ~/.kde4/share/apps/katepart/syntax 2. Run kate or kwrite 3. Open test.vhd or test2.vhd Actual Results: Looks like "lookAhead" attribute is ignored, but if you replace in "<RegExpr attribute="Normal Text" context="look_semicolon" insensitive="true" dynamic="true" lookAhead = "true" endRegion="entity_region" String="\b(end(\s+entity)?)(\s+%1)?" />" '%1' with '&varname;' both lines (2 and 3) in test file #2 are correctly highlighted. Expected Results: Correct highlighting of line 2 in test.vhd with vhdl.xml with '%1' in regex
Sadly the KDE pastes have disappeared :( Could you upload the files as attachments so they won't ever expire?
