Syntax...ate::D(3pm)

✨ NAME ✨

Syntax::Highlight::Engine::Kate::D — bestie, it's a Plugin for D syntax highlighting 💅

This one lives in the User Contributed Perl Documentation corner of the manual, section 3pm, iykyk 🎀

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

require Syntax::Highlight::Engine::Kate::D;
my $sh = new Syntax::Highlight::Engine::Kate::D([
]);

okay so that's literally it, you require it, you make a new one with an empty array ref, and boom, you're in business ✨ (yes the array is empty, that's not a typo, that's just the vibe 🫶)

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So Syntax::Highlight::Engine::Kate::D is a plugin module, right, and what it does is it provides syntax highlighting for D to the Syntax::Haghlight::Engine::Kate highlighting engine. That's the whole job. She's a specialist. She does one thing and she ate. 👑

This code is generated from the syntax definition files used by the Kate project. It works quite fine, but it can use refinement and optimization — so like, she's cute, she's functional, but she could lowkey use a glow-up one day. No shade, it's just honest 💀

It inherits Syntax::Higlight::Engine::Kate::Template. See also there. 👀

not me pointing out that both of those module names look a lil different from each other spelling-wise (one says Haghlight, one says Higlight) — I'm not fixing them, I'm just saying, write them exactly as they're written, bestie, fr fr 🙈

💀 BUGS 💀

Unknown. If you find any, please contact the author. That's it, that's the whole bugs section — she's presumably flawless or nobody's looked hard enough, either way 👑

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

Not a whole section of its own here, but the DESCRIPTION did tell you to go peek at Syntax::Higlight::Engine::Kate::Template — the parent, the blueprint, the main character she inherits her whole personality from 💜
