Callouts break line continuations

[nik9000]

Languages like bash and python require \ on the end of a line to signal that the next line is part of this line. Well, python only requires it sometimes and bash only requires it most of the time, but sometimes you need to stick the darn \ on the end of the line. The trouble is that if you have a callout after it like \ <1> then the html that gets rendered includes the space after the \ which breaks the line continuation, causing frustrating failures. I bet we could do something about this. I don't know what, but I think we should do something about this.

We should have a "copy code" button as I've descried here: #319

Asciidoctor claims to support copy and paste safe callouts. I expect that is just their default when the generating a single html page. We won't get that for free because we generate docbook transform it to many html pages, but we could see about using the same technique it uses.

OTOH it wouldn't solve the power shell problem.

I confirmed this is still an issue.
