I'm working in Kile on a LaTeX file with *.mng extensions. Due to the strange file
extension Kile
does not recognize it as source LaTeX file and almost all editing capabilities provided by
Kile
are gone. For example it does not recognize document structure and the autocompletion of
references and citations is gone. How can I make Kile aware that this is in fact a LaTeX
file?

I thought that Linux ignored extensions and went solely by the form of a file;
i.e. extensions don't matter in Linux.

Yes, most of the times, but there are some exceptions, that is : some
extensions checked by few (bad) programs. Not the fault of the desktops,
but the application.

Seems it's at least more complicated. I did some trial on an ogg file. My
provisory conclusion is:
- as long as the extension is NOT known to the system, teh file seems to be
identified correctly
- if the extension is known (e.g. rename *.ogg in *.png), some programs read
it correctly (Audacious, vlc), others don't (Decibel).
So i'd say it depends on the program.
But the OP did not say why he did not rename the file...

I can add to this the fact that Linux offers the "magic" database
which
contains the numeric signature of all kinds of files. This is what the
Linux command "file" uses to return the type of a file. Linux (and *nix
in general) offers libmagic, a system library applications can link with
to detect the type of a file instead of relying on a file extension.
A well designed Linux application uses libmagic but almost none of the
multi-platform programs use it not counting developers who do not even
know the existence of this Linux built-in facility...
This explains that :-)

I did not rename the file because I'm using a pre-processing tool (OTT,
to be precise) to
generates a *.tex file from my *.mng file. If I renamed my file to *.mng I would have name
clash
with the automatically generated file.
