title: Syntax highlighting for MicroEmacs
body: <p><strong>How can you enable syntax for MicroEmacs?</strong></p>
  
  <p>I <a href="http://www.mail-archive.com/ql-users@quanta.org.uk/msg03859.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">put the following unsuccessfully</a> to my the file uelocal_rc in my HOME.</p>
  
  <pre><code>add-global-mode "HILITE"
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I also put unsuccessfully the following command both to .emacs and to uelocal_rc at my HOME.</p>
  
  <pre><code>(require 'font-lock)    ; enable syntax highlighting
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This suggests me that .emacs does not manipulate Mg. 
  It is also possible that the name of the file <code>uelocal_rc</code> is not correct, since I could not find any example of such files by Google and in Github.</p>
  
  <p>I am using a fresh Ubuntu installation where the standard Emacs has no syntax highlighting.</p>
  
  <p>I finally changed the file endings to .el but the problem remains.</p>
  
  <p>I downloaded the source of MicroEmacs by</p>
  
  <pre><code>apt-get source mg
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>However, I did not find any help file by <code>ack-grep -i help/readme.</code></p>
  
  <p>I added the following lines to my .zshrc unsuccessfully. </p>
  
  <pre><code># MicroEmacs                                                                    
  export MEINSTALLPATH="/home/masi/"
  export MEPATH="/home/masi/"
  export MEUSERPATH='/home/masi/'
  </code></pre>
