So, 3 editors have 3 different opinions. Ken: Editing a space is a waste of editor's time -> implies consistency is not so important Matthew: Newline handling indicates quotes are required Manuel: Quotes are not required due to split line command There is a note in 7.12 and 7.13 Note Although the examples in this book work properly, be aware that udev does not recognize the backslash for line continuation. If modifying udev rules with an editor, be sure to leave each rule on one physical line. Perhaps this could do with some improvement if there is a relation between the line continuation and EOF quoted or not.
