I use Ubuntu Linux and although AxePad works, it is a bit unstable, slow and the toolbar buttons do not display properly, so I thought I would investigate some alternatives.
Gedit is usable, although there is no syntax highlighting, but Kate seems like a better bet.
I tried the rev-ed Kate syntax file but it does not work, as it appears to be different from all the other syntax files kate uses.
I guess this is due to changes within Kate itself.
I am in the process of trying to write a syntax file but it is slow going as I know nothing about XML.
I am using the trusted method of copy,paste,edit,fail,wash,rinse,repeat.
The documents I have read mean little so far, but I am learning..... slowly!
So, if anyone might be able to point me in the direction of anything they think might help, I would be very grateful.
My main source of reference at the moment is The Kate Editor Homepage.
I am not really interested in XML as such, just enough to accomplish this one task.
Then I can get back to playing 'lectronics
Thanks in advance
