[BUG] Incorrect highlighting for YAML multiline string (block scalars)

[theonlypwner]

The original post shows parts of the string that were incorrectly highlighted as if they were not part of the string.

Here is an example where parts outside of the string are incorrectly highlighted as if they were part of the string.

- run: |
    # first line of shell script
    # last line of shell script
  if: condition for running step

[
  {
    "run": "# first line of shell script\n# last line of shell script\n", 
    "if": "condition for running step"
  }
]

Notepad++ fails to highlight it correctly.

VS Code correctly highlights it.

GitHub actually highlights this correctly.

I agree that the example in the first post is a duplicate, but the example in my second post is not a duplicate.

I will close the issue here and repost in the other issue.
