It looks like the syntax highlighting, at least for shell commands and scripts, is handled differently in the editor and the published view. The published view does odd things.

Research direction
Compare how syntax highlighting is applied in the editor (likely CodeMirror) versus the published view (likely rendered as HTML). Look for differences in CSS classes or JavaScript behavior that cause inconsistent highlighting of shell commands.
