Hi,
Adding to what Mike has said, I'd not remove the slashes if they exist
because of exactly what Mike said. Without the slashes, we don't know
where line breaks would have appeared, and we do want to know that.

If these slashes are in short quotes from a play, this may be indicating
where the original had line breaks. Instead of the line breaks, the slashes
allow it to take up fewer lines on the page. I.e. instead of
Romeo, Romeo
wherefore art thou?
It would be
Romeo, Romeo / wherefore art thou?
