1.5.2)  Line Concatenation

It is possible to specify multiple lines as being one by using trailing backslashes:
   cate\
      gory   \
                        name\
         !!
This is interpreted as the one-line:
   category   name!!
Notice how space characters before the trailing slashes emerge in the result. The ‘\' character is one of the so-called ‘control characters' These characters cannot be normally used in category or other denotations (see section 2.4.1.)
