 # ## Encodings
 #
-# In general, an \ERB result string (or Ruby code generated by \ERB)
-# has the same encoding as the string originally passed to ERB.new;
-# see [Encoding][encoding].
+# An \ERB template has an [encoding][encoding],
+# which is by default the encoding of the source string;
+# the result string will also have that encoding.
 #
-# You can specify the output encoding by adding a [magic comment][magic comments]
+# ```
+# s = <<EOT
+# <%# Comment. %>
+# EOT
+# template = ERB.new(s)
+# s.encoding               # => #<Encoding:UTF-8>
+# template.encoding        # => #<Encoding:UTF-8>
+# template.result.encoding # => #<Encoding:UTF-8>
+# ```
+#
+# You can specify a different encoding by adding a [magic comment][magic comments]
 # at the top of the given string:
 #
 # ```
-# s = <<EOF
+# s = <<EOT
 # <%#-*- coding: Big5 -*-%>
-#
-# Some text.
-# EOF
-# # => "<%#-*- coding: Big5 -*-%>\n\nSome text.\n"
-# s.encoding
-# # => #<Encoding:UTF-8>
-# ERB.new(s).result.encoding
-# # => #<Encoding:Big5>
+# <%# Comment. %>
+# EOT
+# template = ERB.new(s)
+# s.encoding               # => #<Encoding:UTF-8>
