-** and a UTF-16 string for sqlite3_create_collation16(). ^In all cases
-** the name is passed as the second function argument.
-**
-** ^The third argument may be one of the constants [SQLITE_UTF8],
-** [SQLITE_UTF16LE], or [SQLITE_UTF16BE], indicating that the user-supplied
-** routine expects to be passed pointers to strings encoded using UTF-8,
-** UTF-16 little-endian, or UTF-16 big-endian, respectively. ^The
-** third argument might also be [SQLITE_UTF16] to indicate that the routine
-** expects pointers to be UTF-16 strings in the native byte order, or the
-** argument can be [SQLITE_UTF16_ALIGNED] if the
-** the routine expects pointers to 16-bit word aligned strings
-** of UTF-16 in the native byte order.
-**
-** A pointer to the user supplied routine must be passed as the fifth
-** argument. ^If it is NULL, this is the same as deleting the collation
-** sequence (so that SQLite cannot call it any more).
-** ^Each time the application supplied function is invoked, it is passed
-** as its first parameter a copy of the void* passed as the fourth argument
-** to sqlite3_create_collation() or sqlite3_create_collation16().
-**
-** ^The remaining arguments to the application-supplied routine are two strings,
-** each represented by a (length, data) pair and encoded in the encoding
-** that was passed as the third argument when the collation sequence was
-** registered. The application defined collation routine should
-** return negative, zero or positive if the first string is less than,
-** equal to, or greater than the second string. i.e. (STRING1 - STRING2).
+** and a UTF-16 string in native byte order for sqlite3_create_collation16().
+** ^Collation names that compare equal according to [sqlite3_strnicmp()] are
+** considered to be the same name.
+**
+** ^(The third argument (eTextRep) must be one of the constants:
+** <ul>
+** <li> [SQLITE_UTF8],
+** <li> [SQLITE_UTF16LE],
+** <li> [SQLITE_UTF16BE],
+** <li> [SQLITE_UTF16], or
+** <li> [SQLITE_UTF16_ALIGNED].
+** </ul>)^
+** ^The eTextRep argument determines the encoding of strings passed
+** to the collating function callback, xCallback.
+** ^The [SQLITE_UTF16] and [SQLITE_UTF16_ALIGNED] values for eTextRep
+** force strings to be UTF16 with native byte order.
+** ^The [SQLITE_UTF16_ALIGNED] value for eTextRep forces strings to begin
+** on an even byte address.
+**
+** ^The fourth argument, pArg, is a application data pointer that is passed
+** through as the first argument to the collating function callback.
+**
+** ^The fifth argument, xCallback, is a pointer to the collating function.
+** ^Multiple collating functions can be registered using the same name but
+** with different eTextRep parameters and SQLite will use whichever
+** function requires the least amount of data transformation.
+** ^If the xCallback argument is NULL then the collating function is
+** deleted. ^When all collating functions having the same name are deleted,
+** that collation is no longer usable.
+**
+** ^The collating function callback is invoked with a copy of the pArg
+** application data pointer and with two strings in the encoding specified
+** by the eTextRep argument. The collating function must return an
+** integer that is negative, zero, or positive
+** if the first string is less than, equal to, or greater than the second,
+** respectively. A collating function must alway return the same answer
+** given the same inputs. If two or more collating functions are registered
+** to the same collation name (using different eTextRep values) then all
+** must give an equivalent answer when invoked with equivalent strings.
+** The collating function must obey the following properties for all
+** strings A, B, and C:
+**
+** <ol>
+** <li> If A==B then B==A.
+** <li> If A==B and B==C then A==C.
+** <li> If A<B THEN B>A.
+** <li> If A<B and B<C then A<C.
+** </ol>
+**
+** If a collating function fails any of the above constraints and that
+** collating function is registered and used, then the behavior of SQLite
+** is undefined.
