 This is meant to be a syntax highlighting *.lang file working for gedit or other text editors using this sort of filetype. The reference is LTspice, almost exclusively, but the program is compatible with SPICE3 syntax or with many other flavours of SPICE.
 LTspice can be set to have tabs or fixed font, but the color scheme is a very simple one: dark-green for comments, red for concatenated line, blue for any dot-command and black for the rest. While this doesn't put strain on the eyes color-wise, it does have a tendency to make following certain aspects a tad harder, such as parameters in a large .param block or trying to find a .subckt in a netlist.
 The methods used here are simple enough not to make everything look like a rainbow but, at the same time, to not be too simple, while trying to emphasize some key words to make editing of netlists with a text editor easier. Thus, all ennumerated below share one colour each, common or not (configurable):
  - comments and in-line comments
  - elements' names, model names or attributes
  - variables
  - dot-commands:
    * parameters, functions
    * simulation cards
    * subcircuits and models
    * other directives
  - subcircuit's or model's names

2013.06.15  - A-devices model names are now detected within concatenated lines.
2013.06.17  - Functions are detected "by the book" (.func f(x) {...}) with matching curled braces.
2013.11.21  - Added COUNTER to A-devices.
2014.04.08  - Corrected variable detection with opened parenthesis behing and no space: (Ron=...)
2014.04.22  - Only variables are now highlighted, without "="
            - Corrected highlighting of "table()"
            - Added *.mod to the extension list (model files)
2014.04.25  - Elements are correctly marked when preceeded by spaces.
            - Subcircuits ending in a simple ".ends" are now correctly detected.
2014.05.29  - Added markup for "params:" within a ".subckt" line.
2014.05.31  - Improved markup for "VALUE" syntax in E or G sources.
2014.06.23  - Added markup for old-style "Laplace" in E or G sources.
2015.04.30  - Added markup for "params:" in a concatenated .subckt line.
2015.11.02  - Added upper-case extension recognition.
2015.11.27  - Added OTA to A-devices.
2015.12.26  - Added exception for coupling coefficient k
2018.12.19  - Added markup for ".parma".
            - Added support for the state-machine.
            - Corrected keyword "xor" (zor) and added "ota" to A-devices.
            - Fixed highlighting of variables without "=" afterwards.  TODO
            - Made functions highlight the name only, without the parenthesis and within.
2019.01.02  - Added markup for ".text"
2021.07.31  - Modified the mimetypes and globs section
2021.10.10  - Corrected the state machine id and style

********************************************************************************

  There is also a colour scheme, spice.xml, which makes the highlighting resemble LTspice's editor, see:
  
http://ltspicegoodies.ltwiki.org/useful.php

for an html preview. It's completely optional, but it can't be hosted in the GtkSourceView's repository. The file can be downloaded from the same page.
