Is there any difference between list of categories (for example) obtained 
with this method and the list obtained with
)what categories
?

Because if there is not, then it is more simple to handle the second file: 
less work is required.

I tried to edit the pamphlet and it seems to me that syntax is correctly 
hilighted.
For example, --R comments are treated just as -- comments.

Is this remark directed to me?

The version that I uploaded today seems to me complete enough.
If in the next days there is  no new remark on the list
which gives me some reason/hint to modify it, I don't think I will touch 
it any more: if you don't see any change for some weeks, you can download 
it and add it, if you want.
