I am trying to get kate to syntax highlight for the unicon programmaing language, but I get no highlighting, and no messages. I took the python.xml file and editted it (see below), then placed it in ~/.kde/share/apps/katepart. Kate complained when there was a syntax error in the file, which I fixed. But it did not recognize my <filename>.icn source text and colour it. the Unicon syntax is in its list of possibilities, along with the *.icn extension filter. I tried it with and without a mimetype="text/x-unicon" specification - ther was no difference in the result. What else needs to be done? -- Parzival <?xml version="1.02" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE language> <!-- Unicon syntax highlightning v0.2 by Parzival Herzog --> <language name="Unicon" version="0.2"
