Description

I was redirected to here from this issue report to Docusaurus: https://github.com/facebook/docusaurus/issues/9011

in short, the following code would be highlighted to

curl -i "http://127.0.0.1" -X PUT -d '
{
  "id": "quickstart",
  "sni": "test.com",
  "cert": "'"${server_cert}"'",
  "key": "'"${server_key}"'"
}'

which isn't correct

Research direction

Reproduce the reported Bash snippet in Prism and inspect the Bash syntax-highlighting grammar, focusing on the nested quotation marks and parameter expansions. Done means the curl command's quoted strings and embedded shell expressions are highlighted according to their actual syntax rather than being parsed incorrectly.
