Syntax...e::Pike(3pm)
β¨ NAME β¨
Syntax::Highlight::Engine::Kate::Pike β bestie, it's a plugin for Pike syntax highlighting π
So this is a Perl module, it lives in the 3pm manual crew (User Contributed Perl Documentation, iconic), and its whole personality is making Pike code look pretty. That's it. That's the job. π
πΈ SYNOPSIS πΈ
okay so here's the whole vibe in code form, copy-paste girlies:
require Syntax::Highlight::Engine::Kate::Pike;
my $sh = new Syntax::Highlight::Engine::Kate::Pike([
]);
Yep, that empty array ref is just sitting there. Living its truth. No cap. β¨
π¦ DESCRIPTION π¦
Okay so Syntax::Highlight::Engine::Kate::Pike is a plugin module β literally that's what it is β and what it does is provide syntax highlighting for Pike to the Syntax::Haghlight::Engine::Kate highlighting engine. Yes, Haghlight. That's how it's spelled up in here. I don't make the rules, I just transcribe them, periodt. π
This code is generated from the syntax definition files used by the Kate project. So nobody hand-typed this masterpiece from scratch, it got born from a generator. The docs are honest about it too: it works quite fine, but it can use refinement and optimization. Like, it's cute but it could be cuter, you know? Lowkey a glow-up opportunity. π₯
It inherits Syntax::Higlight::Engine::Kate::Template β and yep, Higlight this time, different typo, same energy, we love consistency π β so see also there for the family lore.

π BUGS π
Unknown. Like, as far as anyone knows, there are none. Suspicious? Maybe. Iconic? Absolutely. β¨
