 ## Soft line breaks
 
 A regular line break (not in a code span or HTML tag) that is not
-preceded by two or more spaces is parsed as a softbreak.  (A
-softbreak may be rendered in HTML either as a
-[line ending] or as a space. The result will be the same
-in browsers. In the examples here, a [line ending] will be used.)
+preceded by two or more spaces or a backslash is parsed as a
+softbreak.  (A softbreak may be rendered in HTML either as a
+[line ending] or as a space. The result will be the same in
+browsers. In the examples here, a [line ending] will be used.)
