[FIXED] What is the @linkplain tag used for and how does it differ from @link

Issue

I am wondering what exactly is the difference of the JavaDoc tags @link and @linkplain.

They both seem to generate the same html code.

Solution

It produces different formatting in javadoc you can try it in IDE:

{@link #method()} - monospaced formatting (code)

{@linkplain #method()} standard formatting
