Description
JFlex generates invalid JavaDoc.
For example, using the example test.flex from http://jflex.de/manual.html#Example:
$ jflex test.flex
Reading "test.flex"
Constructing NFA : 171 states in NFA
Converting NFA to DFA :
............................................................
64 states before minimization, 45 states in minimized DFA
Writing code to "Lexer.java"
we get:
$ javadoc -Xdoclint:syntax -private Lexer.java
[...]
Lexer.java:369: error: malformed HTML
* zzAtBOL == true <=> the scanner is currently at the beginning of a line
^
Lexer.java:369: error: bad use of '>'
* zzAtBOL == true <=> the scanner is currently at the beginning of a line

Lexer.java:373: error: malformed HTML
/** zzAtEOF == true <=> the scanner is at the EOF */
^
Lexer.java:373: error: bad use of '>'
/** zzAtEOF == true <=> the scanner is at the EOF */

I'd recommend changing all instances of <=> to iff in the templates.
