  <title>Turn on syntax highlighting</title>

  <section id="gedit-syntax-highlighting-section">
    <title>Sintaxiaren nabarmentzea</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>View</gui><gui>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>
