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Note that Kate or KWrite may include outdated syntax highlight support for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folder as described below to override the outdated syntax highlight support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.
