-/*!
-    \brief
-    This class provides several helper functions to generate properly
-    formatted GAP Advertising and Scan Response data payloads.
-
-    \note
-    See Bluetooth Specification 4.0 (Vol. 3), Part C, Sections 11 and 18
-    for further information on Advertising and Scan Response data.
-
-    \par Advertising and Scan Response Payloads
-    Advertising data and Scan Response data are organized around a set of
-    data types called 'AD types' in Bluetooth 4.0 (see the Bluetooth Core
-    Specification v4.0, Vol. 3, Part C, Sections 11 and 18).
-
-    \par
-    Each AD type has its own standardized assigned number, as defined
-    by the Bluetooth SIG:
-    https://www.bluetooth.org/en-us/specification/assigned-numbers/generic-access-profile
-
-    \par
-    For convenience, all appropriate AD types are encapsulated
-    in GapAdvertisingData::DataType.
-
-    \par
-    Before the AD Types and their payload (if any) can be inserted into
-    the Advertising or Scan Response frames, they need to be formatted as
-    follows:
-
-    \li \c Record length (1 byte).
-    \li \c AD Type (1 byte).
-    \li \c AD payload (optional; only present if record length > 1).
-
-    \par
-    This class takes care of properly formatting the payload, performs
-    some basic checks on the payload length, and tries to avoid common
-    errors like adding an exclusive AD field twice in the Advertising
-    or Scan Response payload.
-
-    \par EXAMPLE
-
-    \code
-
-    // ToDo
-
-    \endcode

+/*!
+    \brief
+    This class provides several helper functions to generate properly
+    formatted GAP Advertising and Scan Response data payloads.
+
+    \note
+    See Bluetooth Specification 4.0 (Vol. 3), Part C, Sections 11 and 18
+    for further information on Advertising and Scan Response data.
+
+    \par Advertising and Scan Response Payloads
+    Advertising data and Scan Response data are organized around a set of
+    data types called 'AD types' in Bluetooth 4.0 (see the Bluetooth Core
+    Specification v4.0, Vol. 3, Part C, Sections 11 and 18).
+
+    \par
+    Each AD type has its own standardized assigned number, as defined
+    by the Bluetooth SIG:
+    https://www.bluetooth.org/en-us/specification/assigned-numbers/generic-access-profile
+
+    \par
+    For convenience, all appropriate AD types are encapsulated
+    in GapAdvertisingData::DataType.
+
+    \par
+    Before the AD Types and their payload (if any) can be inserted into
+    the Advertising or Scan Response frames, they need to be formatted as
+    follows:
+
+    \li \c Record length (1 byte).
+    \li \c AD Type (1 byte).
+    \li \c AD payload (optional; only present if record length > 1).
+
+    \par
+    This class takes care of properly formatting the payload, performs
+    some basic checks on the payload length, and tries to avoid common
+    errors like adding an exclusive AD field twice in the Advertising
+    or Scan Response payload.
+
+    \par EXAMPLE
+
+    \code
+
+    // ToDo
