lolcode syntax highlight for nano

I always get a few laughts when i visit a lol* site. Today i stumble upon lolcode! oh the joy!

so, since i’m writing an article about bash and things related, i decided to create a lolcode syntax highlight for nano so i could grasp teh language!

They have plenty of implementations, like BNF Grammar, interpreters, translators (including a lol2sh ) and a vim syntax highlighter! this gave me the idea to make one for nano.


## Here iz TEH syntax highlight for lolcode
## based on the example for C/C++.
## no can has moar color
syntax "lolcode" "\.lol"

##
## types
color green "\<(YARN|NUMBR|TROOF|BUKKIT|NOOB)\>"
##
## stuff
color brightgreen "\<(LINE|WORD|LETTAR)\>"
##
## aritmetric (TIEMZ xould be in TIEM?) anyway, all 3 stay as a keyword
## also the MODZ (not in yr spec 1.1) iz highlighted for modulo
color brightgreen "\<(UP|UPZ|NERF|NERFZ|TIEM|TIEMZ|TIEMZD|OVAR|OVARZ|MODZ)\>"
##

##

color brightcyan "^[[:space:]]*(HAI|CAN HAS|KTHXBYE|)"
##
## not sure what it does, leave it
#color brightmagenta "'([^'\]|(\\["'abfnrtv\\]))'" "'\\(([0-3]?[0-7]{1,2}))'" "'\\x[0-9A-Fa-f]{1,2}'"
##
## String highlighting. You will in general want your comments and
## strings to come last, because syntax highlighting rules will be
## applied in the order they are read in. <-- said the previous c/c++ s.h. writer
color brightwhite "<[^=]*>" " ""(\\.|[^"])*""
##
## This string is VERY resource intensive! <-- omg! let's use it :D
color brightyellow start=""(\\.|[^"])*\\[[:space:]]*$" end="^(\\.|[^"])*""
##
## Comment highlighting
color brightblue "BTW.*"
color cyan start="OBTW" end="TLDR"

ROFL!

pick it here: lolcode SH
save it, change the extension (.png) to .nanorc and put it in the usual place. See the previous posts on how to do just that.

NOTE: most of the !!, && and alike are not being correctly highlighted.. help me if u can :D
