Hi Matej, sorry for the delayed response... it was a busy week :)

There are no docs for the .lang format version 1 (the one currently used
by gtksourceview), but the format is really easy and you should be able
to figure it out from the other examples. GtkSourceView 2 which is being
worked on, uses a more powerful .lang format and luckily that one is
documented properly[1] :-)

That said, there is already a .lang file for spec file and we plan to
integrate it soon (it was contributed while we were in string freeze so
we couldn't add it for 2.16): it's attached here
