I'm using the original-flavored markdown as described [here](http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/syntax).

I'm wondering if it's possible to **break a long line in markdown code while resulting in no syntactic effect**. (In other languages, for instance shell scripts and C, `\` would be used to continue onto the next line.) I'm asking this because newlines sometimes break the syntax, as in

```
[StackOverflow]
(http://stackoverflow.com)

```

This would end up as "[StackOverflow] (<http://stackoverflow.com>)" in the actual html rather than a hyperlink, since newline is interpreted as whitespace, and whitespace is not allowed between `]` and `(` in the `[text](url)` syntax for links.
