Backslash for new line is non-functional #776

Github flavored markdown\ supports a backslash character \ at the end of a line as a line break.

Showdown does not seem to.

This issue post highlights the availability of this feature in GH flavored markdown. Especially useful since linters and the like tend to throw away whitespace at the end of a line, and is also not visible.
