Ruby Syntax Highlighter for Nano

[Jason Jung]

I spent around an hour looking for a Ruby syntax highlighter for Nano.
I couldn't find one so I decided to try my best at creating my own. If
anyone has any suggestions or wants to help improve it, be my guest.

Get it here: http://jungsource.pastebin.com/477379

To install:
Copy and add all of the text from pastebin to the bottom of ~/.nanorc
If .nanorc does not exist create it.

Nanorc doc - http://www.nano-editor.org/dist/v1.2/nanorc.5.html

Note: Tested using Nano 1.2.4 in Fedora Core 3 Linux

Hey Jason,

Good work... i've searched for it too, but after looking through the existi=
ng=20
styles i decided it's not worth the effort and switched to vim instead...
However, nano has been/and for really quick editing still is, my favorite=20
editor.

thx a lot for your effort

One quick edit to your script.

If you swap the following two segments, the highlighter won't think "#
{expression}" is a comment.

# Words in Quotes
#color green ""[^\"]*""
color green ""[^"]*"|qq\|.*\|"
color green "'[^']*'"

# Comments
color brightyellow "#.*"

# Comments

# Words in Quotes

color green ""[^"]*"|qq\|.*\|"
color green "'[^']*'"
