Wikitext syntax highlight file for GNU nano text editor

Quick and dirty nanorc file for Wikitext support on GNU nano text editor.

Installation

1. Copy the file
2. Put it in the ~/.nano/ directory
3. Add it to nano’s included files by adding include ~/.nano/cooklang.nanorc into ~/.nanorc (User specific) or /etc/nanorc (System wide).

Note

This file aims to reproduce the "official" built-in wiki editor’s syntax highlight. Although officially documented by nanorc my terminal (xfce4-terminal 0.8.9.1) limitations seem to prevent the use of colours and emphasis. Those parts are commented out, so that you can uncomment them and test if your terminal support them.
