Package: emacs21 Version: 21.4a-1 Severity: normal In sh-mode with font-lock mode double-quoted strings inside a double-quoted command-substitution is treated as normal text (without quotes)
To reproduce: $ emacs /tmp/foobar.sh M-x sh-mode M-x font-lock-mode echo "`echo "foo bar"`" echo "$(echo "foo bar")" echo "$(echo "#")" Especially the last example shows how confusing this can be: the #")" will be typeset as a comment. Bash, however, will not treat it as a comment. This problem doesn't seem to be specific to Debian or this version of Emacs. -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-1-686 Locale: LANG=en_US, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages emacs21 depends on: ii emacs21-bin-common 21.4a-1 The GNU Emacs editor's shared, arc ii libc6 2.3.6.ds1-8 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libice6 1:1.0.1-2 X11 Inter-Client Exchange library ii libjpeg62 6b-13 The Independent JPEG Group's JPEG ii libncurses5 5.5-5 Shared libraries for terminal hand ii libpng12-0 1.2.8rel-1 PNG library - runtime ii libsm6 1:1.0.1-3 X11 Session Management library ii libtiff4 3.7.2-7 Tag Image File Format (TIFF) libra ii libungif4g 4.1.3-2sarge1 shared library for GIF images (run ii libx11-6 2:1.0.0-8 X11 client-side library ii libxext6 1:1.0.1-2 X11 miscellaneous extension librar ii libxmu6 1:1.0.1-3 X11 miscellaneous utility library ii libxpm4 1:3.5.4.2-3 X11 pixmap library ii libxt6 1:1.0.0-5 X11 toolkit intrinsics library ii xaw3dg 1.5+E-8 Xaw3d widget set ii xlibs 6.9.0.dfsg.1-6 X Window System client libraries m ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3-13 compression library - runtime -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
