[»] Additional language support
by X-Nc - Aug 21st 2002 20:22:38

I think this looks pretty good. I'd like to see how it handles adding other programming languages (believe it or not I need COBOL).

If I actually _could_ spell I'd have spelled it right in the first place.

Hi,
See http://saalen.cdaweb.de/doku/highlight/highlight_langdef.html for documentation about adding syntax schemes. Basically, you just have to put the COBOL keywords, type identifiers etc. in a plain text file.
