syntax highlighting bug with unix shell code sections such as [source,bash]

[4a-42]

trafficstars

unterminated if statements with shell syntax seem to break syntax highlighting in the VSCode text editor. It doesn't affect the preview though, just the text editor. It seems to affect unix shell languages: bash, sh, shell.

I don't know whether other keywords affect this too.

[source,bash]
----
if
----

Example:

[4a-42]

Unterminated quotes also replicate the bug:

[source,bash]
----
'

We currently rely on TextMate grammars but it's too limiting/bug prone. Instead, we should migrate to semantic highlighting: https://code.visualstudio.com/api/language-extensions/semantic-highlight-guide or LSP: https://code.visualstudio.com/api/language-extensions/language-server-extension-guide

If someone wants to give it a try, please feel free to do so!
