[Help-nano] syntax highlighting email signature

[Erik Quaeghebeur]

Hi,


I'd like to syntax highlight my signature when composing mail: essentially 
color everything from (and including) the "-- "-line until the end of the 
file.

In my syntax file, using

color yellow start="^-- $" end=".$"

is the closes I've gotten yet, but it only deals with one-liners. Ideally, 
I would list end-of-file in some way in the end-regexp.

BTW: with the regexp given above, I get strange highlighting behavior: 
sometimes more than the one line below "-- " gets highlighted, sometimes 
not, depending on where I've been with the cursor in that area.

I've mentioned both issues in http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?27708 but this 
might be the more suitable location.


Best,

Erik
