# Syntax good so far
$1=${$1-"${am_missing_run}$2"}
# Syntax broken

Found in audioseg code.

Thanks for the report!

Do you have more context - is this makefile, shell, or M4 code? Could you link to the place in audioseg where it shows up?

The source can be downloaded from It's homepage. The broken line is located on line 710 of ./aclocal.m4.

In this case, it's a problem with Sublime Text's shell script highlighting. The following shell script will also highlight incorrectly, even without my package:

FOO=foo
BAR=bar
FOO=${FOO-"${BAR}"}
echo "$FOO"

Please report a bug with Sublime Text. Feel free to CC me, if and when it gets fixed I'll make sure it works with the M4 highlighting.

Looks like a known issue https://github.com/sublimehq/Packages/issues/465
