It seems things didn't change so far. We just got a request on the kate
mailing list from a guy who is writing a kate highlighting xml file.
He right now relies on the info of 
http://kate-editor.org/2005/03/24/writing-a-syntax-highlighting-file/
which dates back to 2005.

Now in the last 10 years the highlighting system was extended quite a lot,
such that we really would like to have an up-to-date version of the Kate
handbook online somewhere.

If docs.kde.org cannot maintain several versions, then we could put a
copy of the Kate handbook from KDE 4.14 on kate-editor.org. Does someone
have a 4.14 copy? If so, please send it to me as archive.

Also, I cannot access any Kate5 handbook, so lots of resources for Kate
are currently not available.

Is there some plan to get this running again?

Thanks! :-)
Dominik
