 .. method:: str.splitlines([keepends])
 
    Return a list of the lines in the string, breaking at line boundaries.
-   This method uses the :term:`universal newlines` approach to splitting lines.
    Line breaks are not included in the resulting list unless *keepends* is
    given and true.
 
+   Strings can have the following line boundaries:
+
+   +-----------------------+-----------------------------+
+   | Representation        | Description                 |
+   +=======================+=============================+

+   +-----------------------+-----------------------------+
+   | ``\r``                | Carriage Return             |
+   +-----------------------+-----------------------------+
+   | ``\r\n``              | Carriage Return + Line Feed |
