# Syntax Files
|
|
|
|
Here are micro's syntax files.
|
|
|
|
Each yaml file specifies how to detect the filetype based on file extension or headers (first line of the file).
|
|
Then there are patterns and regions linked to highlight groups which tell micro how to highlight that filetype.
|
|
|
|
Making your own syntax files is very simple. I recommend you check the file after you are finished with the
|
|
[`syntax_checker.go`](./syntax_checker.go) program (located in this directory). Just place your yaml syntax
|
|
file in the current directory and run `go run syntax_checker.go` and it will check every file. If there are no
|
|
errors it will print `No issues!`.
|
|
|
|
You can read more about how to write syntax files (and colorschemes) in the [colors](../help/colors.md) documentation.

# Legacy '.micro' filetype
|
|
|
|
Micro used to use the `.micro` filetype for syntax files which is no longer supported. If you have `.micro`
|
|
syntax files that you would like to convert to the new filetype, you can use the [`syntax_converter.go`](./syntax_converter.go) program (also located in this directory):
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ go run syntax_converter.go c.micro > c.yaml
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Most the the syntax files here have been converted using that tool.
|
|
|
|
Note that the tool isn't perfect and though it is unlikely, you may run into some small issues that you will have to fix manually
|
|
(about 4 files from this directory had issues after being converted).
