Micro syntax highlighting files

These are the syntax highlighting files for micro. To install them, just put all the syntax files in ~/.micro/syntax.

They are taken from Nano, specifically from this repository. Micro syntax files are almost identical to Nano's, except for some key differences:

• Micro does not use icolor. Instead, for a case insensitive match, use the case insensitive flag (i) in the regular expression
  • For example, icolor green ".*" would become color green (i) ".*"
• Micro does not support start="..." end="...". Instead use the s flag to match newlines and put .*? in the middle
  • For example color green start="hello" end="world" would become color green (s) "hello.*?world"
