Syntax...akefile(3pm)

💖 NAME 💖

Syntax::Highlight::Engine::Kate::Makefile — bestie, it's a plugin for Makefile syntax highlighting. That's it, that's the whole job, and it does it. ✨

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

okay so here's how you summon it:

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

that's literally the whole vibe. the require, the new, and an empty array ref just sitting there like it knows something we don't. 🫶

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Syntax::Highlight::Engine::Kate::Makefile is a plugin module that hands Makefile syntax highlighting to the Syntax::Haghlight::Engine::Kate highlighting engine. (yes bestie, that's genuinely how it's spelled, i am not touching it, copy-paste is sacred 💅)

This code is generated from the syntax definition files used by the Kate project. It works quite fine, but — real talk — it can use refinement and optimization. so like. it's giving working-but-glow-up-pending energy. 🔥

It inherits Syntax::Higlight::Engine::Kate::Template. See also there. (and yes, that spelling too — two different spellings in the same module, iconic behaviour honestly 😭)

🌈 that's a wrap 🌈

this page lives in perl v5.40.1</> and got its lil makeover on 2026-02-22</>, and it's filed under the user-contributed Perl documentation because the community said "we got this" and honestly? they did. 💜✨ bye bestie, go highlight some makefiles 🎀
