+To add support for a new file type, add an entry to the `comment_styles`
+dictionary in the `plugin/licenser.vim` file. The key should be the file type
+as recognized by Vim/NeoVim, and the contents should be as follows:
+
+- `margin`: If the prefix and suffix should be used on their own lines. E.g. in
+  C and C++ the comment style is `/* */`, so the margin should be set to `1`.
+  In Python, the comment style is `#`, so the margin should be set to `0`.
+- `hashbang`: If the file type supports shebang a line (e.g., `#!/usr/bin/env
+  python3`), set this to `1`. Otherwise, set it to `0`. This is used to
+  determine if the license header should be added after the shebang line.
+- `prefix`: Comment string to use on the first line. Unused if `margin` is set
+  to `0`.
+- `middle`: Comment string to use on the middle lines. If `margin` is set to
+  `0`, this will be used on all lines.
+- `suffix`: Comment string to use on the last line. Unused if `margin` is set to
+  `0`.
