I do not have any good debugging tools for bash, although I guess they
exist. A most annoying part of bash is an error on line 3 is reported
as an error on the last line of the file. Not much help. This is why,
when I work with a large bash script, I only modify one line or two
lines at a time before I test it.

This syntax thing works for other languages, like html.

To see what else is available, in vi(m):
:help syntax
