In depth

The normalisation is the whole job. A syntax highlighter emits overlapping runs — a rule for the string, a more specific one for the escape inside it — and a renderer needs disjoint runs in order with no gaps. Every consumer that skips this step draws a character twice or not at all, and both look like a font problem.

Later wins the overlap, because a later rule is the more specific one in every highlighter that emits them in that order.
