Syntax highlighting is done on plain text LICENSE files

[yurivict]

For example, this file when migrated into Gogs is highlighted:

https://github.com/yurivict/node-line-tracer/blob/master/LICENSE

[linquize]

gogs mis-treat it as something like shell script?

[yurivict]

yes

Fixed in develop branch. See in action: https://try.gogs.io/gogs/gogs/src/develop/LICENSE

Any special reason to fix incorrect highlighting only on LICENSE files? This can't be right.
All files using the standard .txt extension or files without an extension (usually in all caps, but not necessarily) like README, CHANGELOG, LICENSE, HISTORY, meta, todo etc., should not be highlighted because they're readable plain text.

Some examples below.

LICENSE - Not an actual LICENSE file, just renamed that way so no highlighting occurs
LICENSE2 - A number added to LICENSE automatically highlights the text
LICENSE.txt - the standard txt extension automatically highlights the text

@unknwon Should I create a new issue?

@unknwon I see. But what about any file with a .txt extension getting highlighted? highlightExts is not including .txt.

Does .txt have to be explicitly added in highlightMapping?

[unknwon]

@MEGADR01D there is no perfect solution for highlighting, but I think in your case add following content to your app.ini should disable highlighting for .txt files:

[highlight.mapping]
.txt= nohighlight

@unknwon Since I'm using a 3rd party hosted Gogs, let me get back to you, on this, before I close this and the other issue I created. I thought it was a bug within Gogs but I see it's normal behavior of highlightjs.
