//! 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 `
`. //! 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. //! //! ## Tokens //! //! * [`HardBreakEscape`][Token::HardBreakEscape] //! //! ## References //! //! * [`hard-break-escape.js` in `micromark`](https://github.com/micromark/micromark/blob/main/packages/micromark-core-commonmark/dev/lib/hard-break-escape.js) //! * [*§ 6.7 Hard line breaks* in `CommonMark`](https://spec.commonmark.org/0.30/#hard-line-breaks) //! //!
