Subject: '^\}$' is changed to a space character

This result in an empty line.
Not all '^\}' lines are reported.
grep -n -e '^\\\}$' shows all lines.
Visible change is two empty lines after a table instead of a single line.
A full stop should be used in front of '\}' to make the line a control
line.
This also the case in some other files.
