Hello, for some time now there are comments in the documentation site, that the syntax used for line-continuation in the Windows Service howto is wrong.
Please find attached a patch to correct this. I changed the continuation prompt to the correct style (even when I think this way makes copy and paste harder, but since the original version had those prompts as well, I went with the original style). BTW: I think the site doc is outdated compared to the 8.0 branch. So maybe you can refresh that as well after the trunk patch is applied and backported.
