REVISION SUMMARY
BUG: 402720
In the `wml.xml` file an infinite context switch between `section` and `error` is generated, through `lineEndContext`: in a line break, the `section` context sends to `error` and then this is #poped in the line break, causing an infinite cycle. This causes that Kate freezes.
This is reproducible by typing the `[` character and then a line break.
This bug is reproducible only in KSyntaxHighlighting, since in KF5.48 there is no problem. It's probably necessary to add a guard that avoids infinite context changes.
Also, the WML highlighter is a little old and I have seen some problems in sample files. The highlighter considers all content between `[` and `]` as tag. According to the documentation [1]:
Also, tag and key names follow a special format. They will contain only alphanumeric characters and underscores; in particular, they will not contain +, -, or whitespace.
Considering this, and based on the VSCode highlighter, I modified the code so that only tags with valid names are highlighted.
