Highlight .pl as Prolog in Kate
The default file name extension for Prolog has always been .pl
which causes some confusion with Perl that happens to use the same file
name extension. Kate the KDE's Advanced Text Editor also thinks that these are Perl files and tries to highlight them accordingly. An easy way
to fix it is to edit settings in:
Configure Kate -> Editor Component -> Open/Save -> Modes & Filetypes -> Sources/Prolog
Add *.pl
into File Extensions (separated by ;
). Then select filetype Script/Perl in the same view and remove
*.pl
from there.
This serves as a quick workaround. Seems like a proper fix would be through mimetypes.
