</mime-info>

There is no .shtml extension in /usr/share/mime/packages/freedesktop.org.xml (or /usr/local/share/mime/packages/freedesktop.org.xml) from package shared-mime-info-0.90

If files with extension .shtml are not highlighted as HTML in Bluefish

1. copy the xml file above in Bluefish and save it as shtml.xml in ~/.bluefish
2. create ~/.local/share/mime/packages directory if it does not exist
3. copy shtml.xml in ~/.local/share/mime/packages/
4. update the mime database

$ mkdir -p ~/.local/share/mime/packages
$ cp ~/.bluefish/shtml.xml  ~/.local/share/mime/packages/
$ update-mime-database ~/.local/share/mime/
