Lack of documentation on configuration file format

The default and examples got me started but it would make writing a custom configuration much easier if there were some details about the capabilities of the configuration file such as regex limitations and available color names.

One of the things I was running into was not being able to highlight the file separators (==> somefile.log <==) at first I thought it was a limitation or something I didn't get about the regex engine but it seems that the file separators are not processed like the file contents.

Can this be fixed easily? It's a trivial problem but I find it nice to make file separators brightblack while tail -fing multiple log files

I'll have a look at it.
