The README documents using bat -plhelp for syntax highlighting of --help messages, but the 'help' language is provided as a git submodule (cmd-help-sublime-syntax). Users building from source need to initialize submodules to get this syntax. Pre-built release binaries include it by default.

Fixes #3800
