Issue Details

PR 8938 adds support for line continuance in pipelines with the pipe at the beginning of a line, with no backticks required. Documentation that describes how line continuance works needs to be updated to describe the additional methods that can be used to wrap a pipeline across multiple lines in a script.

The same documentation also needs to identify that when working interactively in the shell, line continuance with pipelines at the beginning of a line only works with copy paste when using ctrl+v to paste (right-click paste inserts lines one by one and with that method of paste, line continuance with pipes at the beginning of a line is not supported).
