interesting, the backslash shows when I edit the above comment. For some reason, the "--c" removes the backslash at the end of the line above. Try pasting these 2 lines into a comment to see what I mean.

AlmaLinux \
--c

[auwsom]

This is what happens when pasting those 2 lines:

AlmaLinux
--c

[auwsom]

I had to add an extra space and backslash to the first comment to get it to show up.
