With this plugin you can syntax-highlight file contents of over 300 supported languages and other text formats.
+Colorize will highlight the content based on the filename extension. If it can't find a syntax-highlighting
+method for a given extension, it will try to find one by looking at the file contents. If no highlight method
+is found it will just cat the file normally, without syntax highlighting.

To use it, add colorize to the plugins array of your zshrc file:

+Note that `cless` will behave as less when provided more than one file: you have to navigate files with
+the commands `:n` for next and `:p` for previous. The downside is that less options are not supported.
+But you can circumvent this by either using the LESS environment variable, or by running `ccat file1 file2|less --opts`.
+In the latter form, the file contents will be concatenated and presented by less as a single file.
