* etc/tutorials/TUTORIAL: Mention electric behavior of RET.
Note that I had to change "\" to `\', because otherwise Emacs thought that everything after that point was inside a string and so did not indent anything. So translators should check for anything similar in their translated versions.

334The <Return> key is special, in that pressing it may do more than
335just insert a Newline character. Depending on the surrounding text,
336it may insert whitespace after the Newline character, so that when
337you start typing on the newly created line, the text lines up with
338that on the previous line. We call this behavior (where pressing a
339key does more than simply inserting the relevant character) "electric".
