syntax highlighting of comments

[Job Noorman]

hi,

i think i didn't make myself clear enough. i wasn't talking about the
default highlighting being set to c/c++, but about the the characters
that invoke a comment (like // in c/c++). those characters will appear
in italic as well in gutsy, not only the comment itself, like it was
in feisty.
by the way, kate does set the highlighting based on the type of file
that is opened. the problem for me is that if the invoking character
for a comment is a pipe ( | ) (like in some assembly languages) the |
will appear in italic and look like a /.
i've been looking in kate's settings to change this, but couldn't find anything.
i really think this should be changed: if the invoking character is a
|, it should look like a | and not like a /.
