"Modes" are programming languages recognized by Leo, e.g., by the *@language
xx* directive. They are in the *modes* directory. They are for the most
part python files except for *clojure.xml* and *markdown.xml*.
In the directory there is also a file named *catalog*. It lists most or
(maybe all) of the .py files as entries. The file starts with this comment:
<!-- This is a mode catalog. Edit modes must be listed here, -->
<!-- otherwise they will not be available to jEdit. -->
The entries look like this:
<MODE NAME="javascript" FILE="javascript.xml"
FILE_NAME_GLOB="*.js" />
Now here is the point that caught my attention. Those *FILE* attributes
all end in .xml, but there are no such .xml files in the leo directory tree.
I'm guessing that this catalog file was taken from jEdit or some other
source and that Leo has never used those .xml files. Leo could just
directly look for **'py* and *.xml* files in the directory and not ever
need the catalog.
Is this speculation right, or does Leo actually use the catalog file?
