### Creating a Colorscheme
Micro's colorschemes are also extremely simple to create. The default ones can be found

Colorschemes must be placed in the `~/.config/micro/colorschemes` directory to be used.

In addition to the main colorscheme groups, there are subgroups that you can
specify by adding `.subgroup` to the group. If you're creating your own
custom syntax files, you can make use of your own subgroups.
If micro can't match the subgroup, it'll default to the root group, so
it's safe and recommended to use subgroups in your custom syntax files.
For example if `constant.string` is found in your colorscheme, micro will
use that for highlighting strings. If it's not found, it will use constant
instead. Micro tries to match the largest set of groups it can find in the
colorscheme definitions, so if, for examle `constant.bool.true` is found then
micro will use that. If `constant.bool.true` is not found but `constant.bool`
is found micro will use `constant.bool`. If not, it uses `constant`.
Here's a list of subgroups used in micro's built-in syntax files.
* comment.bright ( Some filetypes have distinctions between types of comments.)
* constant.bool
* constant.bool.true
* constant.bool.false
* constant.number
* constant.specialChar
* constant.string
* constant.string.url
* identifier.class ( Also used for functions. )
* identifier.macro
* identifier.var
* preproc.shebang ( The #! at the beginning of a file that tells the os what script interpreter to use. )
* symbol.brackets ( {}()[] and sometimes <> )
* symbol.operator ( Color operator symbols differently. )
* symbol.tag ( For html tags, among other things.)
* type.keyword ( If you want a special highlight for keywords like `private` )
In the future, plugins may also be able to use color groups for styling.
### Syntax files
The syntax files specify how to highlight certain languages.
<<<<<<< HEAD
Syntax files are specified in the yaml format.
=======
Micro's builtin syntax highlighting tries very hard to be sane, sensible
and provide ample coverage of the meaningful elements of a language. Micro has
syntax files built int for over 100 languages now. However, there may be
situations where you find Micro's highlighting to be insufficient or not to
your liking. Good news is you can create syntax files (.micro extension), place them in
`~/.config/micro/syntax` and Micro will use those instead.
The first statement in a syntax file will probably the syntax statement. This tells micro
what language the syntax file is for and how to detect a file in that language.
