Filetypes markdown and restructuredtext reuse highlighters from other filetypes to highlight code blocks. For example, to highlight a code block of language foo they essentially do require-module foo add-highlighter [...] ref foo This works great if the module name matches the shared highlighter. This is the case almost all scripts in rc/filetype*. The only exception is kakrc.kak: the highlighter is named "kakrc" (just like the filetype) but the module is named "kak". This requires weird hacks in markdown/restructuredtext. Ideally we could remove this inconsistency by renaming both the filetype and the highlighter to "kak" but that's a breaking change. Until we do that, let's add an alias so we can treat filetypes uniformly. This helps the following commits, which otherwise would need to add ugly extra code for kakrc highlighters. The following commit will generalize this approach, allowing users to add arbitrary aliases. |
