 If you want to reuse an existing lexer and/or tag parser, making a
 custom filetype is probably easier - it doesn't require any
 changes to the source code. Follow instructions in the manual:
-https://geany.org/manual/index.html#custom-filetypes. Don't forget to
-update the ``[Groups]`` section in ``filetype_extensions.conf``.

-Filetype group membership
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-Filetype groups are used in the `Document->Set Filetype` menu.
-
-Group membership is also stored in ``filetype_extensions.conf``. This
-file is used to store information Geany needs at startup, whereas the
-separate filetype definition files hold information only needed when
-a document with their filetype is used.
-
-The format looks like::
-
-    [Groups]
-    Programming=C;C++;
-    Script=Perl;Python;
-    Markup=HTML;XML;
-    Misc=Diff;Conf;
-    None=None;
-
-The key names cannot be configured.
-
-.. note::
-    Group membership is only read at startup.
-
-.. tip::
-    You can make commonly used filetypes appear in the top-level of the
-    filetype menu by adding them to the `None` group, e.g.
-    `None=C;Python`.
