+ <title>Syntax highlighting</title>
+ <p><app>gedit</app> provides syntax highlighting for a wide range of markup,
+ programming, and scientific languages. If <app>gedit</app> recognizes the
+ syntax being used when you open a file, it will automatically highlight the
+ text.</p>
+
+ <p>If your syntax or language is not highlighted upon startup, you can
+ select the appropriate syntax or language by clicking
+ <guiseq><gui style="menu">View</gui>
+ <gui style="menuitem">Highlight Mode</gui></guiseq>,
+ and then choosing the desired syntax. Alternately, you can select the syntax
+ name from a list at the bottom of the <app>gedit</app> window.</p>
