Some hints:
All of luas quote character can appear in XPM, also "]]" could appear.
In my project I try to avoid conflicts by using [==[ ... ]==]
While the number of colors is not limited, the format is best when
you limit the number of colors to 90 (+transparency) or less.
Otherwise files can get very large.
It only supports simple transparency,
ie. a pixel is just either visible or not.

Install the xdg-utils and read the manpage for xdg-mime,
especially the section "Examples".
The mime type for lua ist "text/x-lua".
