Mathematica programming language syntax highlighting in kate
![](http://blog.svenbrauch.de/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/mathematica1.png)
I’ve had enough from trying to program in Mathematica’s Notebook GUI interface, so I decided I’d use kate now. Sadly, it doesn’t have syntax highlighting for Mathematica by default. Thus, I created a simple implementation for this. If you want to use it, just download this file and put it in /usr/share/apps/katepart/syntax/mathematica.xml (change directory as required).
