Yes, followed the instructions at https://github.com/PrettyFlower/KateTypeScriptSyntaxHighlighting

Yes, did that. And it did not get picked up. Thus my email to this group.

There are very new. Here is the link to the Kate website that shows versions ;

https://kate-editor.org/get-it/

There is nothing newer than version 17 as shown in the kate website.

Well, as per the instructions in the github site above, I copied the typescript.xml

to;

kate4 ->/usr/share/kde4/apps/katepart/syntax/typescript.xml

and later for kate5 -> /home/username/.local/share/katepart5/syntax/typescript.xml

Restarted kate etc but the typescript.xml was not picked up under Tools -> Highlighting -> Scripts.
