nano of course has syntax highlighting, so I’m curious where it falls short.

Does it have syntax highlighting for the same amount of languages as vim does, out of the box?

I just installed nano-7.2-1 and opened a HTML file with `nano test.html` and it opened without syntax highlight, I can see the point in authors endeavor if syntax highlighting out of the box is what they're looking for.

I mean vim does the exact same thing; you have to turn on syntax highlighting…
