Bat syntax highlighting doesn't play nicely with backslashes about bat

[mxaddict]

I tried the samples that you have, and can't seem to replicate, maybe it's shell related?

[mxaddict]

I'm using same bat version:

mxaddict@mxaddict-pc:~ on ☁️  (us-west-2)
❯ bat --version
bat 0.24.0 (fc954685)

[keith-hall]

presumably those same examples would look the same even without piping into bat... I see something similar on Linux with just echo -e "\curl"

Wait, you're right!! Even without bat I get this same behavior. TBH I'm embarrassed I didn't even think to test that before uploading this issue... I guess I will close it!

But I must admit, I'm curious why @keith-hall and I see the same behavior (even with just echo and no bat) while @mxaddict does not. We must have some differences in our environments. I am not knowingly doing anything to echo - maybe @mxaddict is? (e.g., setting alias echo="echo -E")

I don't have an echo alias, but I am running fish as my shell, I think it handles \ a little differently compared to bash/zsh

[cohml]

Aha, that could be it. Fish vs zsh is definitely a nontrivial difference.

Anyway, this behavior is annoying, but not bat's fault. I'm amazed I hadn't discovered it until now.
