Could we reopen this, please?
gedit has highlighting for sh, but not for bash.
Most of the time, this works fine for bash, but sometimes it goes wrong.
For example, use a command substitution that contains a quote within
case-esac as follows.
#!/bin/bash
case ${SOMETHING} in
( 'a' )
FILENAME="$( readlink "${ARG}" )"
;;
esac
CONFUSING_LINE="case esac"
Starting from the line with the command substitution, gedit thinks that
the rest of the file is within quotes — except those that are parts that
are actually within quotes! This makes it confusing to edit a large
script.
Thank you
