When reading `The "\" indicates', would a native English reader expects a "\"?

Hello,
Regarding section 3.2.5, Assigning A New Value To A Variable, at 
https://docs.gimp.org/en/gimp-using-script-fu-tutorial-identifier.html .
Is it correct that an average native English reader that reads

    Note

    The "\" indicates that there is no line break. Ignore it (don't type it in your Script-Fu console and don't hit Enter), just continue with the next line.

would think there is one, or more, "\" characters at that web page?
