Did you try it?  Here's what that turns into with htmldoc:

Description

We would like to get this info without a page flag, but the state needs
to survive until the folio is last deleted from the LRU, which could be
as far down as __page_cache_release.

 * 1 if folio is a regular filesystem backed page cache folio or a
   lazily freed anonymous folio (e.g. via MADV_FREE).
 * 0 if folio is a normal anonymous folio, a tmpfs folio or otherwise
   ram or swap backed folio.

Return

An integer (not a boolean!) used to sort a folio onto the right LRU list
and to account folios correctly.

Yes, we get a bulleted list, but it's placed in the wrong section!

Adding linux-doc for additional insight into this problem.
For their reference, here's the input:

/**
 * folio_is_file_lru - Should the folio be on a file LRU or anon LRU?
 * @folio: The folio to test.
 *
 * We would like to get this info without a page flag, but the state
 * needs to survive until the folio is last deleted from the LRU, which
 * could be as far down as __page_cache_release.
 *
 * Return: An integer (not a boolean!) used to sort a folio onto the
 * right LRU list and to account folios correctly.
 *
 * - 1 if @folio is a regular filesystem backed page cache folio
 *   or a lazily freed anonymous folio (e.g. via MADV_FREE).
 * - 0 if @folio is a normal anonymous folio, a tmpfs folio or otherwise
 *   ram or swap backed folio.
