   Somewhat new to linux and the Slitaz distro but this is possibly a question that has already been answered, however I can't seem to find it. I mostly use NANO for editing and scripting. Is there a way to enable NANO to highlight or another editor for Slitaz that does syntax highlighting. I've used other distro's that already have this feature enabled but I'm not sure what needs to be done to achieve this.

   If your looking for an editor, I highly recommend Sublime Text as a graphical text editor. Maybe you like the cli, but this works great for me. Available as tar.bz2.

   # Download Sublime Text 2 from http://www.sublimetext.com/2
   wget http://c758482.r82.cf2.rackcdn.com/Sublime%20Text%202.0.1.tar.bz2
   # If you aren't root, sudo su
   
   tar -xvjf Sublime\ Text\ 2*.tar.bz2
   mv Sublime\ Text\ 2/ /opt/sublime-text-2/
   ln -s /opt/sublime-text-2 /usr/local/sublime-text-2
   ln -s /usr/local/sublime-text-2/sublime_text /usr/local/bin/sublime_text
   rm Sublime\ Text\ 2*.tar.bz2

   Thanks. I am trying to get myself more familiar with the CLI currently but I'll check out Sublime.

   Just in case anyone ever comes across this thread I did finally run across a nice sample list at "https://github.com/scopatz/nanorc"

   I prefer Geany myself. It's pretty lightweight while having all the features a programmer could need.

   I do not do programming, (except some awk and sql from time to time).
   As a text editor, I like and use Scite and I am happy with it. It is not as sophisticated as geany, but nano or vim are not either of course.
