Hi all,

I now have KATE 2.0 under KDE3.0.2

I do not have a file called language.dtd.xml (but I do have one called 
langugage.dtd)

I have looked through the manual and not found much on making new highlights 
or how to add them. 

I think I have my file right :o) so now all I need to know is how to add it to 
the list in the highlighter section.

Once I have it all worked out I will provide it, as more and more ppl are 
moving from winblows to *nix for their programming platform :o)

Regards,

Kat.
