-      <para>Be aware that Udev does not recognize the backslash for line

-      and newline are ignored by the shell.  This makes the shell send each
-      rule to cat on only one line.  (The shell ignores this sequence because
-      the EOF string used in the here-document redirection is not enclosed in
-      either double or single quotes.  For more details, see the bash(1)
-      manpage, and search it for "Here Documents".)</para>
