 #if defined(MBEDTLS_SSL_MAX_FRAGMENT_LENGTH)
 /**
- * \brief          Set the maximum fragment length to emit and/or negotiate
- *                 (Typical: the smaller of MBEDTLS_SSL_IN_CONTENT_LEN and
- *                 MBEDTLS_SSL_OUT_CONTENT_LEN, usually 2^14 bytes)
+ * \brief          Set the maximum fragment length to emit and/or negotiate.
+ *                 (Typical: the smaller of #MBEDTLS_SSL_IN_CONTENT_LEN and
+ *                 #MBEDTLS_SSL_OUT_CONTENT_LEN, usually `2^14` bytes)
  *                 (Server: set maximum fragment length to emit,
  *                 usually negotiated by the client during handshake)
  *                 (Client: set maximum fragment length to emit *and*
  *                 negotiate with the server during handshake)
  *
- * \note           By default the \c mfl_code field of the \c mbedtls_ssl_config
- *                 structure is equal to `0 == MBEDTLS_SSL_MAX_FRAG_LEN_NONE`.
- *                 Therefore, the maximum fragment length extension *will not*
- *                 be used, unless the maximum fragment length has been set to a
- *                 different value via this function.
+ * \note           On the client side, the maximum fragment length extension
+ *                 *will not* be used, unless the maximum fragment length has
+ *                 been set via this function to a value different than
+ *                 #MBEDTLS_SSL_MAX_FRAG_LEN_NONE.
  *
  * \note           With TLS, this currently only affects ApplicationData (sent
  *                 with \c mbedtls_ssl_read()), not handshake messages.
