This document defines two strategies for handling long lines in
width-bounded text content. One strategy, called the "single
backslash" strategy, is based on the historical use of a single
backslash ('') character to indicate where line-folding has
occurred, with the continuation occurring with the first character
that is not a space character (' ') on the next line. The second
strategy, called the "double backslash" strategy, extends the first
strategy by adding a second backslash character to identify where the
continuation begins and is thereby able to handle cases not supported
by the first strategy. Both strategies use a self-describing header
enabling automated reconstitution of the original content.
