bug#75113: 29.4; Lispref Manual: backslash before newline


From: Ulrich Müller
Subject: bug#75113: 29.4; Lispref Manual: backslash before newline
Date: Thu, 26 Dec 2024 11:03:41 +0100
User-agent: Gnus/5.13 (Gnus v5.13)

Subsection "Basic Char Syntax" in objects.texi says:
"You can also add a backslash before whitespace characters such as
space, tab, newline and formfeed."

AFAICS this information isn't accurate for newline. ?\<newline> is
invalid escape character syntax, and \<newline> inside a string is not a
literal newline either but a line continuation.
