For what it's worth, that sentence isn't in the tutorial, it's in the
reference manual, which has to mention all sorts of edge cases that most
people will likely never encounter.

I've never seen someone try to make indentation work in that way with a
backslash.  If I were you, I wouldn't mention it to your students, it might
just confuse them further.
