I've know for a long time that you can put a backslash at the end of a line to continue a bash command on the next line. It has seemed like an odd and somewhat impractical feature to me. Why backslash? It only occurred to me very recently that it is the same idea as using backslash to escape other characters. I'm escaping the newline! #bashinginopendoors
