    676 Without [CachedAttribute], the normalValue getter works in the following way:
    677 
    678  1. HTMLFoo::normalValue() is called in WebCore.

    730730
    731731If you want to explicitly control where an attribute getter/setter or a method is defined in V8,
    732 you can use [V8Unforgeable] or [V8OnProto].
    733 
    734  * [V8Unforgeable] indicates that an attribute getter/setter or a method should be defined on a DOM object.
    735  * [V8OnProto] indicates that an attribute getter/setter or a method should be defined on a prototype chain.
     732you can use `[V8Unforgeable]` or `[V8OnProto]`.

    737737Note: As explained above, the current implementation of JSC and V8 is wrong with the Web IDL spec,

    741 == [URL](a) == #URL
    742 
    743 Summary: [URL] indicates that a given DOMString represents a URL.
    744 
    745 Usage: [URL] can be specified on DOMString attributes only:
     741== `[URL]`(a) == #URL
     742
     743Summary: `[URL]` indicates that a given DOMString represents a URL.
     744
     745Usage: `[URL]` can be specified on DOMString attributes only:
    746746{{{
    747747    attribute [Reflect, URL] DOMString url;
    748748}}}
    749749
    750 You need to specify [URL] if a given DOMString represents a URL,
    751 since getters of URL attributes need to be realized in a special routine in WebKit, i.e. Element::getURLAttribute(...).
    752 If you forgot to specify [URL], then the attribute getter might cause a bug.

    768768
    769 Summary: [Constructor] indicates that the interface should have constructor, i.e. "new XXX()".
    770 [CallWith] and [ConstructorRaisesException] adds information when the constructor callback is called in WebCore.
    771 
    772 Usage: [Constructor], [CallWith] and [ConstructorRaisesException] can be specified on interfaces:

     771
     772Usage: `[Constructor]`, `[CallWith]` and `[ConstructorRaisesException]` can be specified on interfaces:
    773773{{{
    774774    interface [
     
    780780}}}
    781781
    782 [Constructor(float x, float y, DOMString str)] means that the interface has a constructor
    783 and the constructor signature is (float x, float y, DOMString str).
     782`[Constructor(float x, float y, DOMString str)]` means that the interface has a constructor
     783and the constructor signature is `(float x, float y, DOMString str)`.
    784784Specifically, JavaScript can create a DOM object of XXX by the following code:
    785785{{{
    786786    var x = new XXX(1.0, 2.0, "hello");
    787787}}}
    788 Then XXX::create(float x, float y, String str) is called in WebCore.
     788Then `XXX::create(float x, float y, String str)` is called in WebCore.
    789789That way WebCore needs to implement the following method as a constructor callback:
    790790{{{
     
    795795}}}
    796796
    797 [Constructor()] is equivalent to [Constructor].
    798 
    799 If XXX::create(...) can throw Exception, you can use [ConstructorRaisesException].
    800 With [ConstructorRaisesException], a placeholder for ExceptionCode is added to the tail argument of XXX::create(...).
     797`[Constructor()]` is equivalent to `[Constructor]`.
     798
     799If `XXX::create(...)` can throw Exception, you can use `[ConstructorRaisesException]`.
     800With `[ConstructorRaisesException]`, a placeholder for ExceptionCode is added to the tail argument of `XXX::create(...)`.
    801801{{{
    802802    PassRefPtr<XXX> XXX::create(float x, float y, String str, ExceptionCode& ec)
     
    810810}}}
    811811
    812 If XXX::create(...) needs additional information like ScriptExecutionContext and ScriptState,
    813 you can specify [CallWith=ScriptExecutionContext|ScriptState].
    814 Then XXX::create(...) can have the following signature:
     812If `XXX::create(...)` needs additional information like ScriptExecutionContext and ScriptState,
     813you can specify `[CallWith=ScriptExecutionContext|ScriptState]`.
     814Then `XXX::create(...)` can have the following signature:
    815815{{{
    816816    PassRefPtr<XXX> XXX::create(ScriptExecutionContext* context, ScriptState* state, float x, float y, String str)
     
    822822Please see [#CallWith another [CallWith] section] for more details.
    823823
    824 Note that [CallWith=...] arguments are added at the head of XXX::create(...)'s arguments,
    825 and the ExceptionCode argument is added at the tail of XXX::create(...)'s arguments.
     824Note that `[CallWith=...]` arguments are added at the head of `XXX::create(...)`'s arguments,
     825and the ExceptionCode argument is added at the tail of `XXX::create(...)`'s arguments.
    826826
    827827Whether you should allow an interface to have constructor depends on the spec of the interface.
    828828
    829 Note: Currently [Constructor(...)] does not yet support optional arguments w/o defaults. It just supports optional [Default=Undefined] or optional [Default=NullString].
