Kate syntax highlighter for new language

[Nibaldo González]

Hello!

In the syntax-highligting repository there is a script to verify the
highlighting .xml files
<https://phabricator.kde.org/source/syntax-highlighting/browse/master/data/schema/>
.
The file you attach has an error on line 37 (it doesn't close the item
tag), so it doesn't work.

Also, regarding keyword lists:
* Keywords shouldn't include spaces before and after, that is, change "*<item>
keyword </item>*" to "*<item>keyword</item>*".
* Keywords shouldn't include boundary characters, as they will not be
highlighted.
  For example:

*      <list name="keywords">*
*        <item>+d</item>*
*      </list>*

  The keyword "+d" will not work, because you need to remove "+" from the
delimiter characters:

*      <general>*
*         <keywords weakDeliminator="+" />*
*      </general>*

  Also, instead of modifying the delimiter characters, you can use
WordDetect rules for some keywords.

regards!
