nano-highlight

a spiffy collection of nano syntax highlighting files

most (ok, prettymuch all) of these have been stol*COUGH* politely included in this repository. proper attribution follows at the end of it all...

WTF do i need these stupid things for???

well, if EMACS or vi are too much of a PITA for you to learn, and all the other text editors you've used are likewise annoying for some reason (yes i'm looking at you Kate & Gedit) then nano is probably your best option! (or if you just like the simplicity of using an extremely lightweight console editor, which is one of the biggest reasons why I use it)

so HTF do i use these things???

one of the easiest ways is like this: git clone git://github.com/serialhex/nano-highlight.git ~/.nano then simply add the different *.nanorc files that you want to use to your ~/.nanorc file. for example, this is mine:

## my awesome ~/.nanorc file!!!                                            

## spifftastic nano highlighting nano!!
include "~/.nano/nanorc.nanorc"

## Ruby
include "~/.nano/ruby.nanorc"

## C/C++
include "~/.nano/c.nanorc"

## Python
include "~/.nano/python.nanorc"

## Bourne shell scripts
include "~/.nano/bash.nanorc"

## CSS
include "~/.nano/css.nanorc"

## HTML
include "~/.nano/html.nanorc"

## Markdown
include "~/.nano/markdown.nanorc"`

there are other spiffy things you can do in your .nanorc file, see nanorc manpage online or your very own nanorc manpage for more details.
