Syntax...e::IDL(3pm)

πŸ’… NAME πŸ’…

okay bestie, say hi to Syntax::Highlight::Engine::Kate::IDL β€” it's a Plugin for IDL syntax highlighting πŸŽ€βœ¨

(this is the perl page, from the User Contributed Perl Documentation section, and the page header calls it Syntax...e::IDL(3pm) because even manpage headers get truncated, iconic)


✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

not me giving you the whole vibe in five lines:

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

like. that's it. that's the whole ritual πŸ™ˆ honestly? slay.


🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Syntax::Highlight::Engine::Kate::IDL is a plugin module that provides syntax highlighting for IDL to the Syntax::Haghlight::Engine::Kate highlighting engine. yes i typed that exactly like the original says, i am NOT fixing it, we don't do that here πŸ’€

fr though, important lore: 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 β€” so like, it's cute and functional but it's giving "first draft that somehow shipped" πŸ¦‹

it inherits Syntax::Higlight::Engine::Kate::Template. see also there. (again: those spellings are the originals, i am simply the messenger πŸ’…)
