+Information about the syntax highlighting rules:
+
+# General File format
+The bulk of the file is a JSON text structure, with the exception of a small comments section at the top where every line starts with a "#".
+
+# Comments
+A small comment section may be placed at the top of the file where every line starts with a "#". This is not a part of the JSON format, but instead something that the Lumina text editor will scan for and remove prior to loading the rest of the file as a JSON document.
+
+# Requirements
+1. A "meta" object containing the following variables (meta information about the rules):
+   1. "name" : The name that will be shown to the user for this set of syntax rules.
+   2. "file_suffix" : An array of suffixes for identifying which files this rule set supports.
+2. A "format" object containing the following variables (file-wide formatting):
+   1. "columns_per_line" : (integer, optional) For file formats with line-length restrictions, this will automatically highlight/flag any "overage" of the designated limit.
+   2. "font_type" : One of the following ["fixed-width", "all", "monospace"]. This is for assisting with file formats that need characters to line up within the file (all columns are in the same place per line, etc).
+   3. "line_wrap" : (boolian, optional) Automatically enable/disable line wrapping for this type of file
+3. A "rules" object containing each of the individual rules, with the name of the rules objects being a number which corresponds to when the rule should be applied (lower numbers are applied before higher numbers). The required fields are:
+   1. "name" : Not directly used by LTE (yet) - but is useful for noting what each rule is for
+   2. Exactly **one** of the following fields must also be included:
+      1. "words" : Array of exact words/text which should be matched (automatically converted to a regular expression with a break on either side of the word)
+      2. "regex" : single-line regular expression to be used for finding matching text
+      3. "regex_start" **and** "regex_end" : multi-line regular expression. Everything between the start/end matches will be highlighted.
+   3. At least **one** of the following fields should also be supplied (format of any text matches)
+      1. "foreground" : Font color of the matching text (see the Colors section for additional information)
+      2. "background" : Highlighting color of the matching text (see the Colors section for additional information)
+      3. "font-weight" : One of the following ["bold","normal", "light"]. Changes the thickness of the font for the matching text
+
+# Colors
+There are a number of built-in colors which may be defined by the user, and these can be used by passing in the following:
+`"colors/[name of color]"`
+The currently-valid colors are: ["keyword", "altkeyword", "class", "text", "function", "comment", "bracket-found", "bracket-missing"].
+
+Alternatively, an RGB (0-255)or Hex color code may be used instead (please limit this though - it can conflict with the user's preferred color scheme quite badly)
+
+Examples:
+ `"foreground" : "rgb(10,10,15)"`
+ `"background" : "colors/text"`
+ `"foreground" : "#0F0F0F"`
