optional.
- Add SEE ALSO section (Jordi).
+ - Moved nano.1 color and syntax sections to nanorc, pointed
+ nano.1 to nanorc.5 for initialization file. Changed
+ nanorc.5 variables to be italics to match nano.1. Added
+ nanorc.5.html to CVS tree.
- nanorc.5:
- Add nanorc manpage, with descriptions of all available commands
(Jordi).

\fBnano\fP will read initialization files in the following
-order: $SYSCONFDIR/nanorc, then ~/.nanorc. Please see the example
-file \fBnanorc.sample\fP which should be provided with \fBnano\fP.
-All lines beginning with a hash symbol (
-#
-) are considered comments
-and will be ignored. The following commands are understood in the
-initialization file:
-.TP
-.B [un]set \fIoption\fP [\fIvalue\fP]
-Set (or unset) the flag \fIoption\fP. Any long option listed above can
-be set or unset by removing the leading dashes (e.g. "set nowrap"). If
-the option takes an argument it will be set to \fIvalue\fP.
-.PP
-\fBCOLOR SYNTAX HIGHLIGHTING\fP (if supported by your curses library)
-.PP
-.TP
-.B syntax "\fIstr\fP" ["\fIfileregex\fP" ... ]
-Defines a syntax named \fIstr\fP which can be activated via the
-\fB-Y\fP flag, or will be automatically activated if the current
-filename matches \fIfileregex\fP. All following \fBcolor\fP statements
-will apply to \fIsyntax\fP until a new syntax is defined.

-For the currently defined syntax, display all expressions matching
-\fIregex\fP with foreground color \fIfgcolor\fP and optional background
-color \fIbgcolor\fP. Legal colors for foreground and background color are:
-white, black, red, blue, green, yellow, magenta, and cyan. You may use
-the prefix "bright" to force a stronger color highlight. If your

+<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2>
+
+This manual page documents GNU <B>nano</B>'s rcfile.
+<P>
+
+<B>nano</B> is a small, free and friendly editor which aims to replace
+Pico, the default editor included in the non-free Pine package. Rather
+than just copying Pico's look and feel, <B>nano</B> also implements some
+missing (or disabled by default) features in Pico, such as "search and
+replace" and "go to line number".
+<P>
+<A NAME="lbAE"> </A>
+<H2>OPTIONS</H2>
+
+The configuration file accepts a series of "set" and "unset" commands,
+which can be used to configure nano on startup without using the
+command-line options. Additionally, the "syntax" and "color" keywords
+are used to define syntax highlighting rules for different text patterns.
+GNU nano will read one command per line.
+<P>
+Options in rcfiles take precedence over nano's defaults, and command line
+options override rcfile settings.
+<P>
+The supported commands and arguments are:
+<P>
+<DL COMPACT>
+<DT><B>set/unset autoindent</B><DD>
+Use auto-indentation.
+<DT><B>set/unset backup</B><DD>
