NAME

       filetypes.conf - the file type configuration of highlight

DESCRIPTION

       This config file contains filename extensions and shebang patterns which are mapped to highlight's syntax
       definitions.

       If  there is only one extension, just name the lang file accordingly and it will work (no entry needed in
       this file).

       The filetype entries in gui_files/ext/fileopenfilter.conf should also be updated.

       Extensions can be configured for multiple languages (see "asm", which is assigned to assembler and fasm).

       The command line (CLI) and Qt GUI builds handle ambiguous assignments as follows:

       - CLI: the first association listed here will be used

       - GUI: a syntax selection prompt will be shown

       If a filename has no extension by convention (ie. makefile), it may be  added  here  nevertheless  or  be
       configured as "Shebang".

       Location: The first filetypes.conf found in a highlight search directory wins.

       It's easily possible to enhance highlight's database of programming languages and colour themes.  See the
       README file for details.
