Note: Kate now has it's own Markdown syntax rules, so there is no longer a need to install these.
Fork of markdown syntax rules for Kate (KDE Editor) and katepart backend originally created by Darrin Yeager, with improvements and updates from claes.
These syntax rules are dual-licensed under the GPL and BSD licenses.
I have also added my own modifications:
- This README file
- (planned) A PKGBUILD for easy installation to the system in Arch Linux
- (planned) Support for nested code highlighting using sjrd's github flavor branch
Additional contributors whose modifications have been pulled to this repository include:
- Neamar - Basic support for highlighting two-line headers.
- Sebastien Doeraene (sjrd) _ Normalized whitespace.
- Paul Weager (metaxy) - Added *.markdown to supported extensions.
- KDE Desktop Environment (all KDE apps use katepart)
If you use Arch, you can easily install these syntax rules using the AUR or CCR package kate-syntax-markdown-git. You can also use the included PKGBUILD or precompiled tar.xz in this git repository .
mkdir -p ~/.kde/share/apps/katepart/syntax/
curl -L https://raw.github.com/antonizoon/kate-markdown/master/markdown.xml -o ~/.kde/share/apps/katepart/syntax/markdown.xml
Then save your already opened markdown files and restart Kate.
Run all commands as root.
