//! Hard break (escape) is a construct that occurs in the  [text][] content
//! type.
//!
//! They’re formed with the following BNF:
//!
//! ```bnf
//! ; Restriction: followed by a line ending  (that is part of the construct
//! ; instead of ending it).
//! hard_break_escape ::= '\\'
//! ```
//!
//! Hard breaks in markdown relate to the HTML element `<br>`.
//! See [*§ 4.5.27 The `br` element* in the HTML spec][html] for more info.
//!
//! It is also possible to create a hard break with a
//! [hard break (trailing)][hard_break_trailing].
//! That construct is not recommended because trailing spaces are typically
//! invisible in editors, or even automatically removed, making them hard to
//! use.
//!
//! It is also possible to escape punctuation characters with a similar
//! construct: a [character escape][character_escape] is a backslash followed
//! by an ASCII punctuation character.
//! Arbitrary characters can be escaped with
//! [character reference][character_reference]s.
//!
