ATTRIBUTE/comment<comment> </comment><comment> </comment><comment>In the kate XML syntax files you find under the section <itemDatas> entries like </comment><comment> </comment><comment><itemData name="Unknown Property" defStyleNum="dsError" italic="1"/>. Kate is an editor</comment><comment> </comment><comment>so it is ok to have definitions for forground and background colors and so on. However, </comment><comment> </comment><comment>since this Module is supposed to be a more universal highlight engine, the attributes need</comment><comment> </comment><comment>to be fully abstract. In which case, Kate does not have enough default attributes defined</comment><comment> </comment><comment>to fullfill all needs. Kate defines the following standard attributes: dsNormal, dsKeyword, </comment><comment> </comment><comment>dsDataType, dsDecVal, dsBaseN, dsFloat, dsChar, dsString, dsComment, dsOthers, </comment><comment> </comment><comment>dsAlert, dsFunction, dsRegionMarker, dsError. This module leaves out the "ds" part and uses </comment><comment> </comment><comment>following additional attributes: BString, IString, Operator, Reserved, Variable. I have </comment><comment> </comment><comment>modified the XML files so that each highlight mode would get it's own attribute. In quite a few cases</comment><comment> </comment><comment>still not enough attributes were defined. So in some languages different modes have the same attribute.</comment><comment> </comment><comment> </comment><comment>=head1 PLUGIN/comment<comment> </comment><comment> </comment><comment>Below an overview of existing plugins.
