When we first introduced the \\ markup we decided to have it
generate line breaks only at the ends of lines (it also joins
the next line to the current one for styling purposes).

However, if you want \\ to generate breaks in the middle of lines
also, add the following to local/config.php:

    Markup('\\\\', '>\\$',
      "/\\\\(\\\\+)/e", "str_repeat('<br />', strlen('$1'))");
