[GtkSourceView syntax highlighting inclusion request] request for inclusion in GtkSourceView of sisu syntax highlighting

Dear Gnome GtkSourceView developers,
request for inclusion in GtkSourceView of sisu syntax highlighting

In March this year I wrote to the developers of gobby, asking about
how to proceed in writing and submitting a syntax highlighting file for
sisu - a smart utf-8 lightweight markup that is packaged initially for
Debian. I was directed to you... and made to understand that the gedit
syntax file was shared.

It has taken a long time for me to write, partly because I had intended
to improve upon the file. It makes heavy use of regexes and I thought
there might perhaps be various optimizations things that might be done
to it. No doubt there will be refinements over time, but for now I
submit the existing basic syntax highlighting file which works for
inclusion in gnome. (a syntax highlighting file is included for example
in vim 7).

Sample (prepared/input/marked-up) documents (against which the syntax
highlighter should work) can be found via:
http://www.jus.uio.no/sisu/SiSU/2.html

e.g.
http://www.jus.uio.no/sisu/free_culture.lawrence_lessig/sisu_manifest.html
http://www.jus.uio.no/sisu/free_culture.lawrence_lessig/free_culture.lawrence_lessig.sst

or
http://www.jus.uio.no/sisu/autonomy_markup0/sisu_manifest.html
http://www.jus.uio.no/sisu/autonomy_markup0/autonomy_markup0.sst

If there is work to be done, and you can guide me I will be glad to make
the improvements.

Thank you.

Sincerely,
Ralph Amissah
