C/C++ syntax highlighting doesn't work

[OrdinaryMagician]

Any C or C++ source file appears with no highlighting at all.

Somehow not including nanorc.nanorc seems to fix the issue, so the problem must be in there.

And it seems that assembly highlighting doesn't work unless c highlighting is not included.

Boy this is a big mess.

Actually, it seems that a lot of files cause conflicts with each other at random. I'm finding lots of issues through trial and error. And somehow nano stays silent about all of it, not reporting any errors.

Hi @OrdinaryMagician, are you including these files in you ~/.nanorc file? See the readme for more info. I have never experienced any of the issues that you are mentioning when the *.nanorc files are properly included in my ~/.nanorc. In fact the only way syntax highlighting doesn't show up (and nano doesn't display an error) is if I haven't actually included the syntax highlighting file.

In many ways, it makes sense that you would see something when you include the nanorc.nanorc file, because all of these are *.nanorc files.

In any event, I think that this is a configuration issue on your end. I hope this helps.

I simply have all the files included on my nanorc in alphabetical order. Maybe it's something about the order, I don't know.

edit: nevermind, I just seemed to have some few duplicate lines for some reason. By the way, Fish and Markdown files seem to have errors in lines 4 and 12 respectively.

Glad that you figured this out! Is it OK to close? Also, pull requests very welcome if you have fixes for the broken lines.

I could only figure out the Markdown one, and I don't know how to do pull requests so I'll just say there should be a ) and a " at the end of line 12.

Great, thanks! I have fixed it.
