Nano Plain Text Syntax Highlighting nanorc File

Here is a Nano Plain Text Syntax Highlighting nanorc File For Highlighting Certain Words, Commented Out Sections While Writing as Plain Text. Normally, we use Syntax Highlighting for specific languages and markup languages, but practically sometimes the plain text files need to be colored a bit for easy readability.

We have updated our GitHub nanorc repo with this new update. You can either use that or simply wget this file :

/usr/local/share/nano/
Vim

cd /usr/local/share/nano/
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/AbhishekGhosh/nano-syntax-highlighting-iNano-/master/text.nanorc
chmod 755 text.nanorc
nano ~/.nanorc
# add
# include "/usr/local/share/nano/text.nanorc"
# save and exit
# source
source ~/.nanorc
# error is normal
# this method is for OS X
# and when we are not using
# the newest compiled source from GitHub

When you will open a text file with .txt extension, minimal syntax highlighting will be present. When you will type for a new text file, you will get more extensive syntax highlighting. For example, some words like https, bad, include, color are specifically colored. You need to customize according to your need although by default it will work fine.

For the plain texts actually it is quite difficult to catch the type of stuff inside.
