\chapter{String Escape Codes}
\begin{description}

\item[ $\backslash$n ] Newline

\item[ $\backslash$r ] Carriage return

\item[ $\backslash$t ] Horizontal TAB

\item[ $\backslash$b ] Backspace

\item[ $\backslash$f ] Form feed

\item[ $\backslash$$\backslash$ ] Backslash

\item[ $\backslash$( ] Left parenthesis

\item[ $\backslash$) ] Right parenthesis

\item[ $\backslash$ddd ] The character code ddd, where ddd is in octal.
\end{description}

In addition to these basic codes, a backslash just before a newline
allows you to break a string across two lines without inserting a
newline into the string. That is, the string:
\begin{verbatim}
(This is a \
string $\backslash$
that has no \
newlines)
\end{verbatim}
is equivalent to the string: \code{(This is a string that has no 
newlines)}.
