40 Note that the Javadoc parsing for Jalopy may not work properly under Sun
41 JDK 1.4 with the Client JVM. This seems to be a problem with the garbage
42 collection. You may want to enable the Server JVM as a workaround.

48 Enables the parsing of existing Javadoc comments which in turn leads to a
49 reformatting of the original comment style during the printing.
51 The used parser mostly supports HTML 3.2 and is not loose in a sense most browsers
52 are these days: tags not contained in the standard will produce errors. And you
53 should always strive to produce well-formed HTML
54 (it works for the <tt class="literal"><p></tt>, <tt class="literal"><li></tt>,
55 <tt class="literal"><dd></tt>, <tt class="literal"><dt></tt> and <tt class="literal"><dir></tt>
58 Don't forget that the standard HTML metacharacters, such as less and greater signs
59 (<tt class="literal"><</tt>, <tt class="literal">></tt>) or the ambersand (<tt class="literal">&</tt>), ...
60 and the commercial "at" sign (<tt class="literal">@</tt>) needs to be
61 escaped if not used as part of another HTML or Javadoc tag.

78 Controls the auto-correction for <tt class="literal">@throws</tt> tags. If enabled,
79 Jalopy enforces a distinct <tt class="literal">@throws</tt> tag for every exception
80 thrown by a method/constructor. Thus, if a method only declares to throw an
81 <tt class="classname">IOException</tt> but throws a <tt class="classname">FileNotFoundException</tt>
82 (which is a subclass of the former) too, Jalopy will add a declaration for the latter.

120 Each element (Class, Interface, Constructor, Method and Field) has its
123 Depending on the element type, a template consists of up to five parts that
124 together form a valid Javadoc comment. Note that the resulting comment will
125 be inserted as-is, and it is your responsibility to define the templates
126 in a consistent style.
128 You can use variable expressions throughout your templates. Read
