Syntax file for GNU Octave

A syntax file for GNU Octave based on the syntax file for R. I don't know which
mimetype to use so I chose text/plain

Updated syntax file

I forgot to add the endswitch keyword, so here's an updated version. The
mimetype still needs to be determined. In octave strings can be multiline if
there is an \ at the end of the string (like C), but I don't know how to do
that.

Comment 4 Paolo Maggi 2005-06-22 10:46:53 UTC 
Bug 307452 contains a .lang file too.
I don't know which is the best one.
Comment 5 Muthiah Annamalai 2005-06-23 02:42:21 UTC 
I think soren agreed on octave-lists that mine was a slightly better version,
than his, but suggested some corrections though.
Comment 6 søren hauberg 2005-07-02 15:12:43 UTC 
Sorry for being a spammer, but I just realized that I made a mistake earlier. I
uploaded a version of octave.lang to bug 307452 instead of this bug. Just wanted
to make sure you use the version I put at 307452.
Comment 7 Paolo Maggi 2005-08-03 17:36:40 UTC 
I don't think it is a good idea to use the Objective-C mime-type. 
So, before committing the Soren's .lang file I will wait bug
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3971 will be fixed.
Comment 8 søren hauberg 2005-08-04 19:45:14 UTC 
I agree that using the Objective-C mime-type is *bad*. You could simply remove
it and only use the text/x-octave mime-type. At least the user would be able to
select syntax highlighting from the menu.

This might be related so I'll mention it here. You can get on text/x-octave
mime-type specification at http://hauberg.org/octave.xml. I guess this fixes the
bug at freedesktop.org, but I don't have the time to loom into it. Perhaps
somebody else does :-)
