 |
|
I'm not understanding something here...
nano-1.3.9
If I have this in my ~/.nanorc:
| Code: | syntax "default"
color red "^[ \t]*#.*" |
then 'generic' (i.e. no extension) text files seem to have some sort of weird syntax colouring, where words like 'if' and 'time' are green as is '=', and 'cp' is blue. Most other words are plain (white). No, this isn't a shell script I'm looking at, and nothing is red either.
My /etc/nanorc has nothing except an ebuild rule enabled.
If I comment out that bit above, the file is completely plain text as I'd expect.
There are no other rules that apply - if there were, then commenting out the default section wouldn't change the situation.
I tried a file with just this in it:
Well, that triggers this strange behaviour too! It's almost as if the default behaviour is hard-coded and although it's enabled by the syntax "default" line, it's ignoring the subsequent directives.
That pattern used to make # comments in generic files red, but this seems totally broken now.

It should be fixed when 1.3.12 comes out. Meanwhile, have you tried this instead:
| Code: | syntax "default"
color red "^[[:space:]]*#.*$" |
Myself I use:
| Code: | syntax "default"
color red "^.+$"
color blue "^[[:space:]]*#.*$" |
