- *
- * <b>MODSERIAL</b> extends the Mbed library <a href="/handbook/Serial">Serial</a> to provide fully buffered
- * TX and RX streams. Buffer length is fully customisable. 
- *
- * Before using MODSERIAL users should be familar with Mbed's standard <a href="/handbook/Serial">Serial</a>
- * library object. MODSERIAL is a direct "drop in" replacement for <a href="/handbook/Serial">Serial</a>. Where
- * previously Serial was used, MODSERIAL can be used as adirect replacement instantly offering standard
- * TX and RX buffering. By default, both TX and RX buffers are 256 bytes in length.
- *
- * @image html /media/uploads/mbedofficial/serial_interfaces.png
- *
- * Standard example:
- * @code
- * #include "mbed.h"
- * #include "MODSERIAL.h"
- *
- * MODSERIAL pc(USBTX, USBRX); // tx, rx
- *
- * int main() {
- *     pc.printf("Hello World!");
- *     while(1) {
- *         pc.putc(pc.getc() + 1);
- *     }
- * }
- * @endcode
- *
- * Example with alternate buffer length:
- * @code
- * #include "mbed.h"
- * #include "MODSERIAL.h"
- *
- * // Make TX and RX buffers 512byes in length
- * MODSERIAL pc(USBTX, USBRX, 512); // tx, rx
- *
- * int main() {
- *     pc.printf("Hello World!");
- *     while(1) {
- *         pc.putc(pc.getc() + 1);
- *     }
- * }
- * @endcode
- *
- * Example with alternate buffer length:
- * @code
- * #include "mbed.h"
- * #include "MODSERIAL.h"
- *
- * // Make TX 1024bytes and RX 512byes in length
- * MODSERIAL pc(USBTX, USBRX, 1024, 512); // tx, rx
- *
- * int main() {
- *     pc.printf("Hello World!");
- *     while(1) {
- *         pc.putc(pc.getc() + 1);
- *     }
- * }

+ *
+ * <b>MODSERIAL</b> extends the Mbed library <a href="/handbook/Serial">Serial</a> to provide fully buffered
+ * TX and RX streams. Buffer length is fully customisable. 
+ *
+ * Before using MODSERIAL users should be familar with Mbed's standard <a href="/handbook/Serial">Serial</a>
+ * library object. MODSERIAL is a direct "drop in" replacement for <a href="/handbook/Serial">Serial</a>. Where
+ * previously Serial was used, MODSERIAL can be used as adirect replacement instantly offering standard
+ * TX and RX buffering. By default, both TX and RX buffers are 256 bytes in length.
+ *
+ * @image html /media/uploads/mbedofficial/serial_interfaces.png
+ *
+ * Standard example:
+ * @code
+ * #include "mbed.h"
+ * #include "MODSERIAL.h"
+ *
+ * MODSERIAL pc(USBTX, USBRX); // tx, rx
+ *
+ * int main() {
+ *     pc.printf("Hello World!");
+ *     while(1) {
+ *         pc.putc(pc.getc() + 1);
+ *     }
+ * }
+ * @endcode
+ *
+ * Example with alternate buffer length:
+ * @code
+ * #include "mbed.h"
+ * #include "MODSERIAL.h"
+ *
+ * // Make TX and RX buffers 512byes in length
+ * MODSERIAL pc(USBTX, USBRX, 512); // tx, rx
+ *
+ * int main() {
+ *     pc.printf("Hello World!");
+ *     while(1) {
+ *         pc.putc(pc.getc() + 1);
+ *     }
+ * }
+ * @endcode
+ *
+ * Example with alternate buffer length:
+ * @code
+ * #include "mbed.h"
+ * #include "MODSERIAL.h"
+ *
+ * // Make TX 1024bytes and RX 512byes in length
+ * MODSERIAL pc(USBTX, USBRX, 1024, 512); // tx, rx
+ *
+ * int main() {
+ *     pc.printf("Hello World!");
+ *     while(1) {
