fix problematic HTML caused by certain trailing backslashes

In cases that are **outside of a markdown code block**,
a markdown line with ending in a tailing "\" can generate
problematic HTML.

We certain trailing backslashes outside of a markdown code block
with "<br>" HTML elements, or in some cases eliminated the
need for a trailing backslash.

In a few cases some unnecessary trailing backslashes inside
of a markdown code block were removed.
