Hi all!
I just found a working syntax highlighting of markdown files for kate. Original comes from https://github.com/claes/kate-markdown , I just added the fileextension *.mdwn for ikiwiki.
To try it out: decompress the attached markdown.xml.xz and copy it to /opt/trinity/share/apps/katepart/syntax/ , then restart kate and open an arbitrary markdown file (github readme.md ...)
If this works for otheres, too, I'd suggest to add the file to TDE :)
