title: break long lines in markdown code
body: <p>I'm using the original-flavored markdown as described <a href="http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/syntax" rel="noreferrer">here</a>.</p>
  
  <p>I'm wondering if it's possible to <strong>break a long line in markdown code while resulting in no syntactic effect</strong>. (In other languages, for instance shell scripts and C, <code>\</code> would be used to continue onto the next line.) I'm asking this because newlines sometimes break the syntax, as in</p>
  
  <pre><code>[StackOverflow]
  (http://stackoverflow.com)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This would end up as "[StackOverflow] (<a href="http://stackoverflow.com">http://stackoverflow.com</a>)" in the actual html rather than a hyperlink, since newline is interpreted as whitespace, and whitespace is not allowed between <code>]</code> and <code>(</code> in the <code>[text](url)</code> syntax for links.</p>
