+nano-syntax-highlighting (Improved Nano Syntax Highlighting Files)
+
+This repository holds {lang}.nanorc files that have improved
+definitions of syntax highlighting for various languages.
+
+Once there you should add the languages you want to your nano
+configuration file ~/.nanorc or /etc/nanorc, for example:
+
+## C/C++
+include "/usr/share/nano-syntax-highlighting/c.nanorc"
+
+Or to be less verbose, append content of the folder in one line
+with wildcard:
+
+For current user.
+$ echo 'include "/usr/share/nano-syntax-highlighting/*.nanorc"' >> ~/.nanorc
+
+For all users.
+# echo 'include "/usr/share/nano-syntax-highlighting/*.nanorc"' >> /etc/nanorc
