--- Comment #3 from Rich Bowen <[email protected]> ---
Added a new "Quoting and Escaping" subsection to the configuration
file syntax documentation (configuring.html).

The rules are documented from the actual config parser code
(ap_getword_conf and substring_conf in server/util.c):

- Either double or single quotes can enclose arguments
- Inside quotes: \\ produces \ and \" (or \' for single-quoted)
  produces the literal quote; all other backslash sequences pass
  through unchanged
- Outside quotes: backslashes are literal (except line-continuation)
- Adjacent quoted strings are NOT concatenated
- Note about double-processing when directives have sub-parsers

Fixed in r1933778 (trunk), r1933779 (2.4).
