Yes, kernel-doc does that...looking at the history, that behavior was added in 2012 (commit 65478428443) because otherwise multi-line macros are not handled properly. Fixing this properly is not going to be all that easy; the code reading the source file is well before any sort of parsing, so it has no idea of whether it's in a comment or not. A really ugly workaround... put something relatively inconspicuous, like " .", after the backslash, and at least your formatting won't be mangled. > Another question: Is there an linux-doc irc channel to ask simple > questions? I don't really do IRC, just don't have the spare attention span for it. Feel free to email me anytime though. jon
