• You may include HTML tags (but avoid structuring tags, like <H1>, etc.)

• Javadoc comments should immediately preceed the declaration of the class, field or method. The first sentence should be a summary. Use the special javadoc tags--@. When '@' tags are used, the parsing continues until the doc compiler encounters the next '@' tag.

David Dagon: The @deprecated tag interacts with the compiler to turn off warnings.
