Here are three lines of
   verbatim text with a | and \
at the end of a line. Why a \ I discovered this with ascii art.

Note it is only on two lines and the \ after the "| and" is gone.

Here is another example of an ascii art depiction of an SSH tunnel operation.

 ssh client |---+----------+---| VNC server (6001)
 VNC (5900) |--/            \--<-| forwarded port (5950*) |--\
                                                              \-<| VNC client

There is a third line in the above example use ?raw=on" to see it. I can't make it display like I want in this TWiki. I was able to make it work by putting a . after the \ ending the second line in a 01Dec2001 TWiki I have.

The second line should have the \ lining up to meet/dock with the + in the first line. The spaces in the verbatim environment seem to be getting converted into tabs and screwing up the alignment. Its correct as I type it in now, but when I edit it, I will probably have to remove some tabs.

This is fixed, in TWikiAlphaRelease and TWiki.org. See also Support.BackslashAtEndOfLine
