'|' can only immediately follow a statement

[bitfrei]

Hi, I'm using shfmt not directly, but with shell-format.

For some files, I get errors when using pipelines / pipes with ('|'):
| can only immediately follow a statement

A simple example would be:

#!/bin/bash
echo "hello" \
        | tee 

It seems shfmt is not handling the line break properly as this one works:

#!/bin/bash
echo "hello" | \
        tee 

Albeit being a legit option I would prefer the first solution.
Also shfmt does not intend tee.., which should be the case?

It almost sounds like there's a bug in shell-format, because shfmt works just fine with what you provided:

$ cat f.sh
#!/bin/bash
echo "hello" \
        | tee
$ shfmt f.sh
#!/bin/bash
echo "hello" |
	tee
$ shfmt -bn f.sh
#!/bin/bash
echo "hello" \
	| tee
$ shfmt -version
v3.3.0-0.dev.0.20210203135509-56c9918c980d

ok. Well, I couldn't test it with shfmt alone, so sorry and thanks.
