      I wondered whether escaping would work, but not enough to test it.

      I actually like the escaping method better because

      • My time spent with git has resulted in me seeing lots of editors argue about whether whitespace at the end of a line is acceptable, but I prefer to do without
      • I post almost exclusively from my mobile device, so two spaces create a full stop where I don’t want one
      • I’m accustomed to escaping newlines from my shell scripting experience, so it looks right to me
      • It reminds me of xkcd, which I have frequently enjoyed

      Regardless of which method any of us use, thank you for the information!
