Use code font around "null" : `{@code null}`

Sorry, my last comment may have been not specific enough but I don't think you
should remove the last sentence - I think that is still important to explain

"It does not depend on the length of {@code digestb} or the contents of {@code
digesta} and {@code digestb}."
