  * The class can be parameterized in the following manner with various 
constructors:
  * </p>
  * <ul>
  * <li>URL-safe mode: Default off.</li>
- * <li>Line length: Default 76. Line length that aren't multiples of 4 will 
still essentially end up being multiples of
- * 4 in the encoded data.
- * <li>Line separator: Default is CRLF ("\r\n")</li>
+ * <li>Line length: Default 76. Line length that aren't multiples of 4 will 
still essentially end up being multiples of 4 in the encoded data.
+ * <li>Line separator: Default is CRLF ({@code "\r\n"})</li>
  * </ul>
  * <p>
  * The URL-safe parameter is only applied to encode operations. Decoding 
seamlessly handles both modes.
  * </p>
  * <p>
- * Since this class operates directly on byte streams, and not character 
streams, it is hard-coded to only
- * encode/decode character encodings which are compatible with the lower 127 
ASCII chart (ISO-8859-1, Windows-1252,
