Greetings,
I used pine and pico way back in the day, and after a 'brief' hiatus I'm
back in the groove and looking to customise my coding environment. nano
seems to offer everything I need in a cheerful editor, so I'm looking to
wrap my head around the syntax highlighting and settle in for the long haul.
I have two questions I hope someone can help with:
1) I suspect that the eight basic colours that can be selected — white,
black, red, blue, green, yellow, magenta, and cyan — map directly (and
numerically) to the terminal palette (which, in my case, is GNOME
Terminal 3.18.3 on Ubuntu 16.04.3). If that's the case, then the /only/
way I can manipulate the palette is to do so at the terminal level —
correct?
2) I'm familiar with Perl regular expressions, but the regexes used in
syntax files seem to be a tad different. I gather from the docs that
they are 'extended regular expressions'. Am I to understand from this
that we have /full/ support of everything in Chapter 3 of the /GNU Grep
3 Manual/
(http://www.gnu.org/software/grep/manual/grep.html#Regular-Expressions)?
Cheers!
Tim
