Probably a misunderstanding between us. They will have to edit the file if they do want to add other functions to the list of highlighted ones. The comment explaining on the file explaining how to do it, don't think about it as if we are asking someone to do it bit rather as documentation on how to expand it to the user's need. We would select a bunch of functions, but in case one day some user decides to look on how it works and increase it, it's already there explained for him. If he gets to the point of looking inside the lang file, he's probably already thinking about changing it to do something more. We would only be anticipating this and save him from the work of finding how to highlight more functions. No extra work for us, just a bit more easy on the user. > Hmm, that doesn't really match my experience. I guess I should ask the > developers. Well, if it doesn't work that way, maybe that's a good idea to give them. To keep a counter on many times each language is used to select the one that is most likely to be correct. Or maybe that's a more appropriate question/comment for the gedit developers rather than the ones from gtksourceview. All I know is I still have the lang file for Objective-C but my *.m files are automatically identified as Octave files.
