# `whitespace-after-continuation-character`

The menu item is split up over two or more continuation lines, but there is additional whitespace after the backslash (`\`) that indicates where lines should be joined together.

There is no guarantee that such additional whitespace is handled correctly. The backslash should be the end of the line.

Severity: | `error`
Experimental: | `false`
