There’s no such thing as a soft return in a plain text file, since there’s no ASCII character that’s interpreted that way.

IIRC, option-return in CW would bypass auto-indent, inserting a Return character with no following spaces. That’s not a soft return, though, and using it in a string literal would still be a syntax error without backslashes or extra quotes as we just described.

Um, in any good book on the C programming language :) The spec is online but it’s rather dry reading.
