Basically just the title said. The situation is basically I use a Domain-Specific Language called G’MIC, and to this day, I haven’t found a satisfactory answer to the issue of lack of syntax highlighting. At the moment, I am using KDE Kate as it’s pretty good at structuring the code with their find/replace feature, tab indicators, and multi-window support.
Was that what modes are for?
What do you mean? I’m pretty new to making syntax highlighting for KDE Kate, so I’m just now fixing my other thing before I get into much more advanced concept of it.
The way I remember stuff and it seems to be explained in here a context is a way to limit the amount of checked regexes. So as I understand you can start an expr context if you hit one of those keywords. Kind of like modes in XSL or working with a stack.
That document also describes how to handle newlines in context.
