24 JDK 1.4 with the Client JVM. This seems to be a problem with the garbage

31 Enables the parsing of existing Javadoc comments which in turn leads to a
32 reformatting of the original comment style during the printing.
33 </p><p>
34 The used parser mostly supports HTML 3.2 and is not loose in a sense most browsers
35 are these days: tags not contained in the standard will produce errors. And you
36 should always strive to produce well-formed HTML
37 (it works for the <tt class="literal">&lt;p&gt;</tt>, <tt class="literal">&lt;li&gt;</tt>,
38 <tt class="literal">&lt;dd&gt;</tt>, <tt class="literal">&lt;dt&gt;</tt> and <tt class="literal">&lt;dir&gt;</tt>
39 tags, but anyway).

41 Don't forget that the standard HTML metacharacters, such as less and greater signs
42 (<tt class="literal">&lt;</tt>, <tt class="literal">&gt;</tt>) or the ambersand (<tt class="literal">&amp;</tt>), ...
43 and the commercial "at" sign (<tt class="literal">@</tt>) needs to be
44 escaped if not used as part of another HTML or Javadoc tag.
