Please read more carefully.  Felix wrote:

    Therefore whitespace such as \r is significant in a #define, both after
    a backslash and at the beginning of the following line (in the middle of
    a string constant).

The linebreak 'characters' you are referring to are actually a
combination of two characters, where one is interpreted (by the
preprocessor) as the linebreak (\n or newline) and the other is
considered whitespace (\r or carriage return).

Cheers,

Erwin.
