Hi Pierre!

Great!

The file is packaged with RKWard, but also with KatePart. Or, more
precisely, the syntax highlighting has been split out into a separate
module, around a year(?) ago. You can find the r.xml-file, here:
https://cgit.kde.org/syntax-highlighting.git/tree/data/syntax . It also
does not get installed _as that file_ any more, but rather what gets
installed is a pre-compiled collection of all the syntax highlighting
definitions in that directory.

So that should not be a problem. Or did you actually test and find "R
Script" missing in kate?

I continue to be open for including this in RKWard, but submitting to
ktexteditor is still the best option, IMO. (This is the place where it
would go to:
https://cgit.kde.org/ktexteditor.git/tree/src/script/data/indentation)

Thanks for keeping it up!
