Nano context highlighting for gmi file

Oops, I messed that up. The word "gemini" needs to be in quotes on line 2 of the file. It should be:

syntax "gemini" "\.(gmi|GMI)$"

Here's the whole thing again:

So, to make it more pleasant to write gmi files in shell, I created a very simple "gemini.nanorc" file for text highlighting gemini files.

I figure I'd just paste the file's contents and instructions here: Just open a new file in nano (I assume that's what you are using if you are going to use this feature), paste all the text between the two ``` lines below into the file, and save as "gemini.nanorc", either in /usr/local/share/nano (if you are admin), ~/share/nano or whatever is right for your installation.

Then, again, depending on your installation, create or append to your existing /etc/nanorc or ~/.nanorc a line like the following:

include "/etc/nanorc/gemini.nanorc"

Hope it's useful for somebody! Here's the contents:

``` ## Here is an example for the gemini web scheme's gmi file format

syntax "gemini" "\.(gmi|GMI)$"

# links color magenta "^=

.*$"

# preformatted color yellow start="^```* ?$" end="^```* ?$"

#headings color cyan "^\#+.*$"

#bullets color green "^\*+.*$" ``` -- peteyboy at sdf.org SDF Public Access UNIX System - http://sdf.org
