Smarty Syntax Definition for Kate and KatePart

Hi!

I have already sent the syntax definition to both the Smarty and Kate
devel groups, but I'm more than happy to send it again. Oh, yes, I'm
still using Kate version 2.2.1, so pretty much everyting was made and
tested for that version. It would be nice to compare our syntax files,
to come up with a pretty decent solution (more official solution). You
are welcome to contact me personally in that regard, and we can discuss
every little bit of the syntax definition file.

Cheerios,
Werner

Following is my original message:

-----------
Please find attached my Smarty Syntax Definition.

A few notes:

1) Improvements are *very* welcome. This is my first syntax definition
(born out of necessity), I hope it helps someone out there (at least
I've been using it a lot).
2) It includes the HTML Syntax Definition (v1.93 tested) with
<IncludeRules context="##HTML" />
3) Known bug: Smarty Code is not recognized inside HTML 'Values'
(especially attributes), due to the amateur-like down-and-dirty way
which I included the HTML definition.
Not-recognized example:
<select name="{$myVar}">
If anyone knows how to solve this I would be very happy, just to escape
the Smarty Code from within an HTML 'Value', without modifying the HTML
Syntax Definition.
4) If anyone more experienced with Syntax Definitions would like to
rewrite the whole thing based on the info of my file, please go ahead,
but let me know, so I can use the improved version as well.
5) Keep me posted (feedback is welcome) if I missed something very basic
in Smarty's syntax.
