/**
 * <div>
 * Checks that a
 * <a href="https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/17/docs/specs/javadoc/doc-comment-spec.html#block-tags">
 * javadoc block tag</a> appears only at the beginning of a line, ignoring
 * leading asterisks and white space. A block tag is a token that starts with
 * {@code @} symbol and is preceded by a whitespace. This check ignores block
 * tags in comments and inside inline tags {&#64;code } and {&#64;literal }.
 * </div>
 *
 * <p>
 * Rationale: according to
 * <a href="https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/17/docs/specs/javadoc/doc-comment-spec.html#block-tags">
 * the specification</a> all javadoc block tags should be placed at the beginning
 * of a line. Tags that are not placed at the beginning are treated as plain text.
 * To recognize intentional tag placement to text area it is better to escape the
 * {@code @} symbol, and all non-escaped tags should be located at the beginning
 * of the line. See NOTE section for details on how to escape.
 * </p>
 *
 * <p>
 * Notes:
 * To place a tag explicitly as text, escape the {@code @} symbol with HTML entity
 * &amp;#64; or place it inside {@code {@code }}, for example:
 * </p>
 * <div class="wrapper"><pre class="prettyprint"><code class="language-java">
 * &#47;**
 *  * &amp;#64;serial literal in {&#64;code &#64;serial} Javadoc tag.
 *  *&#47;
 * </code></pre></div>
