+
+    <p>When mapping URL's to the filesystem, these multiple slashes are not

+       In these cases <code class="directive">MergeSlashes</code> can be set to 
+       <em>OFF</em> to retain the multiple consecutive slashes.  In these
+       configurations, regular expressions used in the configuration file that match

+       <code class="directive">RewriteRule</code>, ...) need to take into account multiple 
+       consecutive slashes.</p>
