plantuml.jar -language does not report all keywords?

Listing all keywords (on version 8024 from May '15) does not seem to include legend, rnote, hnote

This was noteced when using an emacs mode that does highlighting based on what "plantuml.jar -language" report is supported. Ensuring a complete listing is valuable for several reasons - auto-configured syntax support in editors beeing one.

Thanks for the report.

We've added the keywords in last beta https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/13064071/plantuml.jar

The major issue is that the list of keywords is updated manually in the code ( see https://raw.githubusercontent.com/plantuml/plantuml/master/src/net/sourceforge/plantuml/syntax/LanguageDescriptor.java ).

We know that this is ugly, and that some automatic/smart system would be better (In some future maybe...)

So do not hesitate if you find other missing keywords.

Thanks again.
