Original Text
-------------
   Base64url Encoding
      Base64 encoding using the URL- and filename-safe character set
      defined in Section 5 of RFC 4648 [RFC4648], with all 
      trailing \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'=\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'
      characters omitted (as permitted by Section 3.2) and without the
      inclusion of any line breaks, whitespace, or other additional
      characters.  Note that the base64url encoding of the empty octet
      sequence is the empty string.  (See Appendix C for notes on
      implementing base64url encoding without padding.)

Notes
-----
>From WG: The normative section is correct and this is just an HTML markup from
txt issue.

Original note from submitter: in the html version 
https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7515
the link on \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"Section 3.2\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\" goes to Section 3.2 
of RFC7515 but it should go 
to Section 3.2 of RFC4648. Not sure how the automatic link generation is made 
(or 
is it manual?), so i would propose explicitly saying \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"Section 
3.2 of RFC 
4648\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\".
