Bug ID: 517428
Summary: Source code does not comply with language.xsd
Classification: Frameworks and Libraries
Product: frameworks-syntax-highlighting
Version First unspecified
Reported In:
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: syntax

Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
The file "language.xsd" defines the expected structure of highlighting
definition files. It allows three elements below <language>: <highlighting>,
<general> and <spellchecking>. Below <spellchecking> a <encodings> element is
allowed and below that a list of <encoding> elements. Each <encoding> element
can have the attributes "string", "char" and "ignored".
The source code that reads the highlighting definition files (definition.cpp)
does not comply with the XSD. It expects <spellchecking> within <general> and
not on the same level with it. The intermediate element <encodings> is not
expected and from <encoding> only the attributes "string" and "char" are
evaluated. The attribute "ignored" is, well, ignored.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
Compare the code in definition.cpp with the content of "language.xsd".
OBSERVED RESULT
Encodings defined in language/spellchecking/encodings/encoding are ignored.
EXPECTED RESULT
Either the code respects the XML structure defined in language.xsd or that XSD
is corrected to reflect the actual implementation. In the latter case the
existing highlighting definitions that comply with the XSD and use the
<spellchecking> element, should be adopted accordingly.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I was really happy when I found a feature in Kate that my beloved Notepad++
from Windows did not provide: Ignoring certain characters inside words in the
spellchecker. The greater my disappointment when the according data in my
highlighting definition was ignored. There is worse than that, but I find it
weird to have an exact formal XML specification and then implementing something
that contradicts it.
