Thanks Carnë, I will use the templates from now on.

Regarding the syntaxhighlight. The extension highlights matlab nicely
(wikipedia as well, via <source>). I guess is a matter of adapting
what you have created for the gtksourceview octave lang file and
making a new language definition. What do you think?

Could the current Code template use the highlight extension
internally? Then if we change it in the future everything will change
accordingly.
