Hi, at the moment, the KTextEditor team ports away from its old syntax highlighting engine (which was reimplemented some years ago in QtCreator) to the new KSyntaxHighlighting framework (a Qt only KF5 framework).
https://api.kde.org/frameworks/syntax-highlighting/html/index.html https://cgit.kde.org/syntax-highlighting.git/about/ After this is done, we will do some incompatible changes to the xml files (that are reused by QtCreator at the moment). I know that in the past there was no chance to reuse the KTextEditor/Kate implementation due to licensing/dependencies issues. Would it be possible to reuse the framework above to stay compatible and share code/maintenance effort? At the moment the framework is LGPLv2+, but even relicensing to something more liberal is at the moment still possible, if that would allow better collaboration.
