Adding GDScript highlighting support

[Cooper, David]

I’m working on a Game Development book in Godot using GDScript, and I got the syntax highlighting working in prism, and I’m currently using Python as the highlighting language for listings. It’s not perfect, but definitely better than nothing.

I did my best to follow the way that Dave Musicant made changes to add Kotlin.

Is someone available to handle a PR for this? I have the repository ready, but don’t want to make a PR without warning.

Thanks,

David

David - 

Are you making GDScript a language for ActiveCode programs? Or just static listings? If the former, you will need a seperate PRs on both PreTeXt and Runetone.

All of the PR's for PreTeXt go through Rob. But, if you have done the work to find and follow Dave's changes, your PR is likely in good shape. And adding a new language is not going to inspire a deep debate. It should be fine to just open the PR.

I'm personally interested in your project for some high school teachers I work with, but I'll follow up off the list about that.

(This got hung up on its way out yesterday afternoon.)

Dear David,

Fire away with a PR. Add whatever else needs to be said there.

I’m making it for activecode, but I haven’t finished the runestone changes yet. I think I’ll be implementing a client side solution rather than using JOBE, but I have to make sure I can get all the glue just right.

I’ll make the PR soon.

Thanks!
