+# Micro syntax highlighting files
+
+These are the syntax highlighting files for micro. To install them, just
+put them all in `~/.micro/syntax`.
+
+They are taken from Nano, specifically from [this repository](https://github.com/scopatz/nanorc).
+Micro syntax files are almost identical to Nano's, except for some key differences:
+
+* Micro does not use `icolor`. Instead use the case insensitive flag (`(?i)`) in the regular expression
+* Micro does not support `start="..." end="..."`, instead use the multiline match flag (`(?s)`) and put `.*?` in the middle

+## FILENAME:    arduino.nanorc
+##
+## DESCRIPTION: The arduino.nanorc syntax files allows syntax highlighting
+##              for Arduino sketch files in the GNU nano text editor.
+##
+## Maintainer:  Nicholas Wilde
+## Version:     0.1
+## DATE:        06/23/2011
+##
+## HOMEPAGE:    http://code.google.com/p/arduino-nano-editor-syntax/
+##
+## COMMENTS:    -Most of the code was taken from the c.nanorc code found with 
+##               GNU nano 2.2.6.
+##              -Direction was taken from the arduino vim syntax code by johannes
+##               <https://bitbucket.org/johannes/arduino-vim-syntax/>
+##              -Tested on Ubuntu Server 11.04 Natty Narwhal and GNU nano 2.2.6
+##
+## DIRECTIONS:  For Ubuntu Server 11.04 Natty Narwhal:
+##              -Move this file <arduino.nanorc> to the nano directory
+##               /usr/share/nano/
+##              -Add arduino.nanorc reference to the nanorc settings file
+##               /etc/nanorc
+##               ...
+##               ## Arduino
+##               /usr/share/nano/arduino.nanorc
+##               ...
