    @param to The address of the recipient of the GavCoin
    @param valueInmGAV The GavCoin value to send
    @return {

    function send(address to, uint256 valueInmGAV) returns (bool done) {
        if (balances[msg.sender] >= valueInmGAV) {
            balances[to] += valueInmGAV;
            balances[msg.sender] -= valueInmGAV;
            done = true;
        }
    }
}

Return params must be a single @param formatted as an object as shown above.

The above example will produce the following result as raw markdown.
