This directory contains files that provide support for code folding and syntax highlighting for editing Logtalk source files with the KDE Kate and KWrite text editors (http://kate.kde.org/) and with the KDevelop IDE (http://www.kdevelop.org/).

Note that Kate or KWrite may include outdated syntax highlight support for Logtalk source files. If that's the case, install the logtalk.xml in this folder as described below to override the outdated syntax highlight support file bundled with Kate or KWrite.

These support files are dual-licensed under the Apache License 2.0 and the KDE license.

On POSIX systems, to install copy the file logtalk.xml to one of the directories:

KDE3:	$KDEDIR/share/apps/katepart/syntax/
KDE4:	$KDEDIR/share/kde4/apps/katepart/syntax/
KDE5:	$KDEDIR/share/katepart5/syntax

or:

KDE3:	~/.kde/share/apps/katepart/syntax/
KDE4:	~/.kde/share/kde4/apps/katepart/syntax/
KDE5:	~/.local/share/katepart5/syntax

In recent versions, try:

~/.local/share/org.kde.syntax-highlighting/syntax

On macOS systems, to install copy the file logtalk.xml to the directory:

~/Library/Application Support/org.kde.syntax-highlighting/syntax

On Windows systems, to install copy the file logtalk.xml to the directory:

%USERPROFILE%/AppData/Local/org.kde.syntax-highlighting/syntax

After, restart Kate and KWrite. Logtalk source files (including the library entities and the programming examples) are indented using tabs (a common setting is a tab width equivalent to 4 spaces); you may set the tab width on the editor preference panel.

Note that you will either need to choose a theme that highlights all relevant syntax elements (e.g. Vim dark) or play with the style settings for Logtalk source files. The default theme doesn't highlight e.g. directives.
