Syntax...eBASIC(3pm)

✨ NAME ✨

Syntax::Highlight::Engine::Kate::FreeBASIC — a Plugin for FreeBASIC syntax highlighting 💖

okay so real talk, this is a Perl module (section 3pm, from the User Contributed Perl Documentation crowd) and it does exactly one thing but it does it cute: it teaches the Kate highlighting engine how to make FreeBASIC code look pretty 🌈

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

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

yes bestie, that's the whole thing. load it, make a new one, pass it an empty arrayref, and you're literally good to go 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Syntax::Highlight::Engine::Kate::FreeBASIC is a plugin module that provides syntax highlighting for FreeBASIC to the Syntax::Haghlight::Engine::Kate highlighting engine. (yes, that spelling is on purpose, it's in the original, do not come for me 🙈)

This code is generated from the syntax definition files used by the Kate project. so like, nobody hand-typed this whole thing while vibing — the machine did it. It works quite fine, but lowkey it can use refinement and optimization. it's giving "good enough, could be iconic" energy ✨

It inherits Syntax::Higlight::Engine::Kate::Template. (another spelling that is what it is 💀) See also there — go peek at the parent, it's got the lore 👑
