+Highlighter-independent settings
+--------------------------------
+
+By default, all command lines are highlighted.  However, it is possible to
+prevent command lines longer than a fixed number of characters from being
+highlighted by setting the variable `${ZSH_HIGHLIGHT_MAXLENGTH}` to the maximum
+length (in characters) of command lines to be highlighter.  This is useful when
+editing very long comand lines (for example, with the [`fned`][fned] utility
+function).  Example:

 How to activate highlighters
 ----------------------------

 To activate an highlighter, add it to the `ZSH_HIGHLIGHT_HIGHLIGHTERS` array in
 `~/.zshrc`, for example:

+```zsh
+ZSH_HIGHLIGHT_HIGHLIGHTERS=(main brackets pattern cursor)

 highlighter is active.
