# Improved Nano Syntax Highlighting Files
|
|
|
|
This repository holds ``{lang}.nanorc`` files that have improved definitions of syntax highlighting for various languages.
|
|
|
|
# Installation
|
|
|
|
There are three ways to install this repo.
|
|
|
|
## 1. Automatic installer
|
|
|
|
Copy the following code to download and run the installer script:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/scopatz/nanorc/master/install.sh | sh
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If your machine doesn't have `curl` command, use this code:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/scopatz/nanorc/master/install.sh -O- | sh
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Note:
|
|
|
|
Some syntax definitions which exist in Nano upstream may be preferable to the ones provided by this package.
|
|
The ` install.sh` script may be run with `-l` or `--lite` to insert the included syntax definitions from this package with *lower* precedence than the ones provided by the standard package.
|
|
|
|
## 2. Package managers
|
|
|
|
The follow table lists all systems with this package published.
|
|
Fell free to add your official package manager.
|
|
> Systems that are based in others' package managers or repositories are compatible. For example: `pacman/aur` based systems are compatible with `Arch Linux`.
|
|
|
|
| System | Command |
|
|
| --- | --- |
|
|
| Arch Linux | `aurman -S nano-syntax-highlighting-git` or `aurman -Ss nano-syntax-highlight` |
|
|
|
|
## 3. Clone repo (copy the files)
|
|
|
|
The files should be placed inside of the `~/.nano/` directory.
|
|
|
|
> You can put the files in another directory inside the correct `.nano` folder.
|
|
> For example: `~/.nano/nanorc/`.
|
|
> For readability will use `$install_path` for the path of your choose (in *system wide* the path is always `/usr/share/nano-syntax-highlighting/`).
|
|
|
|
For user, only run:
|
|
|
|
`git clone git@github.com:scopatz/nanorc.git $install_path` or
|
|
`git clone https://github.com/scopatz/nanorc.git $install_path`
|
|
|
|
For system wide, run:
|
|
|
|
`sudo git clone https://github.com/scopatz/nanorc.git $install_path`
|
|
|
|
# Configuration
|
|
|
|
After installation, you need to inform `nano` to used the new highlight files.
|
|
The configuration file is located at `~/.nanorc`, for users, and at `/etc/nanorc`, for system wide.
|
|
> If this file doesn't exist, create a new one.
|
|
|
|
Again there are three ways:
|
|
|
|
## 1. Include all
|
|
|
|
Append the content of the folder in one line, with wildcard::
|
|
|
|
`echo "include $install_path/*.nanorc" >> ~/.nanorc` or
|
|
`echo "include $install_path/*.nanorc" >> /etc/nanorc`
|
|
|
|
## 2. Include/append our `nanorc` file
|
|
|
|
Simply run:
|
|
|
|
`cat $install_path/nanorc >> ~/.nanorc` or
|
|
`cat $install_path/nanorc >> /etc/nanorc`
|
|
|
|
## 3. One by one
|
|
|
|
Add your preferable languages one by onento the file. For example:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
## C/C++
|
|
include "~/.nano/c.nanorc"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
# Tricks & Tweaks
|
|
|
|
## MacOS
|
|
|
|
`\<` and `\>` are regular character escapes on MacOS.
|
|
The bug is fixed in Nano, but this might be a problem if you are using an older version
|
|
If this is the case, replace them respectively with `[[:<:]]` and `[[:>:]]`.
|
|
This is reported in [Issue 52](https://github.com/scopatz/nanorc/issues/52).
