As I mentioned previously, Pygments hadn't had a release/any development since January 2017. They recently released an updated version, so it might be of interested to make a PR to update the repo's Stata/Mata files.

As of Pandoc 2.0 I think, Pandoc uses the Skylighting library. Currently this doesn't color SAS or Stata code. This library is used for PDF, HTML, and docx output, so it would be useful to have syntax highlighting. I think there are currently some filters around that you can use to use Pygments instead, but only for PDF output of course.

Have you seen a Stata syntax file that uses the KDE XML syntax? If not I'll probably start my own from scratch, but won't spend a crazy amount of time on it.

I haven't checked the output of pygments, but it appears that the operators key isn't called from anywhere... These are the only two occurrences of operators

It appears that HighlightJS is finally maintained again, or at least has someone active who is interested in merging things!!!

One bug I've noticed, closing parentheses don't get highlighted:

This is present in both the HTML and PDF exports from Jupyter Notebook. I think that means it's a Pygments problem, but I'm not sure.

Do you have any ideas for how to create a current list of keywords and functions? It appears that someone made the widely used lists and then everyone else used the same ones. So they don't include ustrregexm (or probably other Stata 14 functions).
