How to syntax highlight via Less

Problem

is there a way to syntax highlight a file I see in Less? actually I'm using this command to open an xml file (and sometimes a series of them) or I'd like to stay in Less (to learn that program better and to use my knowledge of :n and :p for next/previous navigation) But it also want some kind of basic syntax highlighting – at least show the comments differently. Do you know any way to do it?
