Hi,

i made a very simple YAML syntax highlighting. Just copy file yaml.syntax into

/usr/share/mc/syntax

Then backup file:

/usr/share/mc/syntax/Syntax

and add to the end:

file ..\*\\.(yml|YML)$ YAML\sFile
include yaml.syntax

and than restart mc or use shortcut CTRL + S on opened YAML file (support files *.yml or *.YML).
After that you can see result.png.

The current version is lacking. Here are some fixes/improvements. (I also made it use the colors we usually use.)

(@Roman: Your name is in the commit history. I removed it from the file itself. I'm sure you'll agree with me that it'd be unfair to those coming after you and invest more time in this that they won't get credit.)

BTW, @Roman: what systems are using {{var}}? It won't hurt to document this.

OH MY GOD, AWESOME!!!11 I'm writing a lot of YAML these days, and was thinking to make a call to see if anyone can do a syntax for it.

@mooffie, "{{ var }}" is the Jinja2 (template system for Python) string interpolation syntax. It has nothing to do with YAML per se, but, among other things, YAML is used as a default playbook format for an increasingly popular software configuration mangement system called Ansible, which, incidentally, is written in Python and uses Jinja2 to interpolate YAML strings. So, as such, I'd be happy if you could keep anything "{{ .. }}" highlighted in a different color, such that it stands out.

P.S. I wish someone could think of tackling Scala ;-) the first approximation would be to just alias it to Java, but, of course, there is much more to it...
