      * @name pc.VertexFormat
-     * @class A vertex format is a descriptor that defines the layout of vertex element data inside
-     * a pc.VertexBuffer object.
-     * @description Returns a new pc.VertexFormat object. It is constructed from a description
-     * that explicitly defines how data is to be laid out inside a vertex buffer (pc.VertexBuffer).
-     * The description is defined as an array of elements, where each element is an object with the
-     * following properties:
-     *   semantic: pc.SEMANTIC_.
-     *   components: the number of components used by the element.
-     *   type: (pc.ELEMENTTYPE_).
-     *   normalize: true to remap element values to a range of 0 to 1. Defaults to false.
+     * @class A vertex format is a descriptor that defines the layout of vertex data inside
+     * a {@link pc.VertexBuffer}.
+     * @description Returns a new pc.VertexFormat object.
      * @param {pc.GraphicsDevice} graphicsDevice The graphics device used to manage this vertex format.
-     * @param {Object[]} description An array of vertex element descriptions.
+     * @param {Object[]} description An array of vertex attribute descriptions.
+     * @param {Number} description[].semantic The meaning of the vertex element. This is used to link
+     * the vertex data to a shader input. Can be:
+     * <ul>
+     *     <li>pc.SEMANTIC_POSITION</li>
+     *     <li>pc.SEMANTIC_NORMAL</li>
+     *     <li>pc.SEMANTIC_TANGENT</li>
+     *     <li>pc.SEMANTIC_BLENDWEIGHT</li>
+     *     <li>pc.SEMANTIC_BLENDINDICES</li>
+     *     <li>pc.SEMANTIC_COLOR</li>
+     *     <li>pc.SEMANTIC_TEXCOORD0</li>
+     *     <li>pc.SEMANTIC_TEXCOORD1</li>
+     *     <li>pc.SEMANTIC_TEXCOORD2</li>

+     *     <li>pc.SEMANTIC_TEXCOORD4</li>
+     *     <li>pc.SEMANTIC_TEXCOORD5</li>
+     *     <li>pc.SEMANTIC_TEXCOORD6</li>
+     *     <li>pc.SEMANTIC_TEXCOORD7</li>
+     * </ul>
+     * If vertex data has a meaning other that one of those listed above, use the user-defined
+     * semantics: pc.SEMANTIC_ATTR0 to pc.SEMANTIC_ATTR15.
+     * @param {Number} description[].components The number of components of the vertex attribute.
+     * Can be 1, 2, 3 or 4.
+     * @param {Number} description[].type The data type of the attribute. Can be:
+     * <ul>
+     *     <li>pc.ELEMENTTYPE_INT8</li>
+     *     <li>pc.ELEMENTTYPE_UINT8</li>
+     *     <li>pc.ELEMENTTYPE_INT16</li>
+     *     <li>pc.ELEMENTTYPE_UINT16</li>
+     *     <li>pc.ELEMENTTYPE_INT32</li>
+     *     <li>pc.ELEMENTTYPE_UINT32</li>
+     *     <li>pc.ELEMENTTYPE_FLOAT32</li>
+     * </ul>
+     * @param {Boolean} description[].normalize If true, vertex attribute data will be mapped from a
+     * 0 to 255 range down to 0 to 1 when fed to a shader. If false, vertex attribute data is left
+     * unchanged. If this property is unspecified, false is assumed.
      * @example
+     * // Specify 3-component positions (x, y, z)
+     * var vertexFormat = new pc.VertexFormat(graphicsDevice, [
+     *     { semantic: pc.SEMANTIC_POSITION, components: 3, type: pc.ELEMENTTYPE_FLOAT32 },
+     * ]);
+     * @example
+     * // Specify 2-component positions (x, y), a texture coordinate (u, v) and a vertex color (r, g, b, a)
      * var vertexFormat = new pc.VertexFormat(graphicsDevice, [
      *     { semantic: pc.SEMANTIC_POSITION, components: 2, type: pc.ELEMENTTYPE_FLOAT32 },
      *     { semantic: pc.SEMANTIC_TEXCOORD0, components: 2, type: pc.ELEMENTTYPE_FLOAT32 },
      *     { semantic: pc.SEMANTIC_COLOR, components: 4, type: pc.ELEMENTTYPE_UINT8, normalize: true }
      * ]);
