Syntay-Highlighting for KDE-Kate

I'm looking for a plugin for Kate (or any other good text editor for linux)
(KDE 3.x) which will highlight the R syntax.

I think "any other good text editor" would include emacs and
xemacs.  For either of these, you can get ESS:
http://stat.ethz.ch/ESS/
It is now part of the Xemacs "Sumo" rpm (all the packages
together), but you can also install it separately if you want.
