Hi, There is no WDL language definition file, Could you added the WDL.xml ? WDL, Workflow Description Language;

Thank you.

I'm sorry that this wasn't clear before, but as the README now makes explicit:

The maintainers of this Collection do not have the knowledge to make a custom User Defined Language definition on request -- you likely know your Language much better that we do (for example, I've never heard of "WDL" as a language).

It is super simple to make your own UDL: paste your language's keywords into one or more of the eight keywords sections, put the appropriate operators into the operators inputs, possibly add some delimiters (like quote-pairs or parentheses pairs) and/or comments definitions and/or folding definitions; set the colors to match your desire, and enjoy.

You can see the online User Manual's UDL description with the details on what all of those mean, and how to use it. Once you have a working UDL, you can share it with others by Contributing to the Collection.
