 There are multiple modes to tell BearSSL how to verify the identity of the remote server.  See the `BearSSL_Validation` example for real uses of the following methods:
 
 setInsecure()
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^
 
 Don't verify any X509 certificates.  There is no guarantee that the server connected to is the one you think it is in this case, but this call will mimic the behavior of the deprecated axTLS code.
 
-setKnownKey(const BearSSL::PublicKey *pk)
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+setKnownKey(const BearSSL::PublicKey \*pk)
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
 
 Assume the server is using the specific public key.  This does not verify the identity of the server or the X509 certificate it sends, it simply assumes that its public key is the one given.  If the server updates its public key at a later point then connections will fail.
 
-setFingerprint(const uint8_t fp[20]) / setFingerprint(const char *fpStr)
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+setFingerprint(const uint8_t fp[20]) / setFingerprint(const char \*fpStr)
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
 
 Verify the SHA1 fingerprint of the certificate returned matches this one.  If the server certificate changes, it will fail.  If an array of 20 bytes are sent in, it is assumed they are the binary SHA1 values.  If a `char*` string is passed in, it is parsed as a series of human-readable hex values separated by spaces or colons (e.g. `setFingerprint("00:01:02:03:...:1f");`)
 
-setTrustAnchors(BearSSL::X509List *ta)
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+setTrustAnchors(BearSSL::X509List \*ta)
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
 
 Use the passed-in certificate(s) as a trust anchor, accepting remote certificates signed by any of these.  If you have many trust anchors it may make sense to use a `BearSSL::CertStore` because it will only require RAM for a single trust anchor (while the `setTrustAnchors` call requires memory for all certificates in the list).

 Stack
    The amount of stack in the ESP is tiny at only 4KB. For normal developement in large systems, it 
    is good practice to use and abuse the stack, because it is faster for allocation/deallocation, the scope of the object is well defined, and deallocation automatically happens in reverse order as allocation, which means no mem fragmentation. However, with the tiny amount of stack available in the ESP, that practice is not really viable, at least not for big objects.
