Section headers cannot span multiple lines. Yep, looks obviously correct. I wondered if this got introduced during some formatting cleanup, but it has been present since the text was added in 1feb061701 (config.txt: document behavior of backslashes in subsections, 2017-12-21). Thanks for spotting. -Peff ```
