-  * This function computes the inverse-matrix matrix product inverse(\c *this) * \a other.

   * is an upper (resp. lower) triangular matrix.
   *
-  * It is required that \c *this be marked as either an upper or a lower triangular matrix, which
-  * can be done by marked(), and that is automatically the case with expressions such as those returned
-  * by extract().
-  *
   * Example: \include MatrixBase_marked.cpp
   * Output: \verbinclude MatrixBase_marked.out

-  * This function is essentially a wrapper to the faster solveTriangularInPlace() function creating
-  * a temporary copy of \a other, calling solveTriangularInPlace() on the copy and returning it.
-  * Therefore, if \a other is not needed anymore, it is quite faster to call solveTriangularInPlace()
-  * instead of solveTriangular().
+  * This function returns an expression of the inverse-multiply and can works in-place if it is assigned
+  * to the same matrix or vector \a other.
