Xsl, Xslt syntax highlighting

[damien]

source:trunk/trac/mimeview/api.py@5388#L99​

This line should be changed from

'text/xml':               ['xml'],

to

'text/xml':               ['xml','xsl','xslt'],

and line 100 should be removed since pygments handles xsl as 'text/xml'. This will fix xsl syntax highlighting, (I have tested it).

Replying to damien:

I was a bit reluctant at first to drop text/xsl MIME type in favor of text/xml for XSL file. However, it appears that text/xsl has never been officially registered as a MIME type, it is mostly an IE thing.

However, there is another alternative for XSL files: application/xsl+xml. This MIME type works also with Pygments, and carries more information as text/xml does.

OTOH, api.py should not be defined for Pygments, as Pygments is only one choice in the mime converter galaxy.

See also ​RFC 3023, Appendix A: about the motivation for using +xml suffix.

As a side note, the following MIME types are recognized by Pygments as supported XML types:

• text/xml
• application/xml
• image/svg+xml
• application/rss+xml
• application/atom+xml
• application/xsl+xml
• application/xslt+xml
