===== Line continuation character (backslash) =====
\\  When a backslash line continuation character is used at the end of a line in a block of example code, a **space** must be added after it otherwise it will be interpreted as a WikiText line continuation.\\ \\  Entering the following Wiki markup:\\ \\ "[[code format="bb4w"]]\\ 

  * DEF FNmonth(mon%) \//space//
  * \ = MID$("JanuaryFebruaryMarchAprilMayJuneJulyAugustSeptemberOctoberNovemberDecember", \//space//
  * \ VAL MID$("010816212629333743525965",mon%*2-1,2), \//space//
  * \ VAL MID$("785534469788",mon%,1))
[[code]]"\\ \\  Gives the following document text:\\ 
        DEF FNmonth(mon%) \
        \ = MID$("JanuaryFebruaryMarchAprilMayJuneJulyAugustSeptemberOctoberNovemberDecember", \
        \ VAL MID$("010816212629333743525965",mon%*2-1,2), \
        \ VAL MID$("785534469788",mon%,1))
