Description

Possible option to suppress code highlighting in "corner cases". I'm trying to insert bash script with the minted package, but the bash characters such as $ complicate the text highlighting.

Steps to reproduce & Minimum working example

Inside a regular latex file (in our case using the \usepackage{minted}, but probably more widespread).

Regular text...

\begin{minted}[mathescape,breaklines, bgcolor=bg,xleftmargin=1mm
]{bash}
cut -f2 file1.txt | awk ' { if ($1 != 0) { print } } ' >  file2.txt
cut -f3 file3.txt | awk ' { if ($1 != 0) { print } } ' >  outfile.txt
\end{minted}

Regular text, but now highlighting is green and inconsistent.

Suggestion

If the feature does not already exist (could not find any documentation or other comments), maybe a method to suppress highlighting:

text

%%%language-latex suppress begin
\begin{minted}
...
\end{minted}
%%%language-latex suppress end

more text with consistent highlighting.

Additional Information

• Ubuntu 16.04
• Atom text editor
• language-latex 1.2.0
• latex 0.50.0 package

Thanks in advance!

I raised a similar issue once, but it was not wanted. I'm not going to just add it in now that I'm the only one here, but my own grammar package has it.
