           Summary: no syntax highlighting for AWK scripts
           Product: kate
           Version: 2.1
          Platform: unspecified
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kwrite-devel@kde.org
        ReportedBy: flavio.stanchina@tin.it


Version:           2.1 (using KDE 3.1.3)
Installed from:     (3.0)
Compiler:          gcc version 2.95.4 20011002 (Debian prerelease)
OS:          Linux (i686) release 2.4.21-athlon

Kate is missing syntax highlighting[1] for AWK scripts, which I use a lot. I'm attaching an experimental "awk.xml" file, hacked from the C and Bash files, that is good enough for me and hopefully can serve as a basis for building something better by someone that really understands the syntax detection rules[2].

1. Could we follow the i18n tradition and start saying "h10g" instead? Spelling "highlighting" correctly is painful.
