Hi Adrian,

Text suggestions welcomed.   

What needs to be expressed is that a space character cannot occupy the column where the end-of-line '\' is to placed, as doing so would push that space character to the beginning of the next line, which the unfolding logic would subsequently delete, thinking that it was part of a user-placed "indent".  Makes sense?
