33   * <p>
34   * Checks that a
35   * <a href="https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/11/docs/specs/doc-comment-spec.html#block-tags">
36   * javadoc block tag</a> appears only at the beginning of a line, ignoring
37   * leading asterisks and white space. A block tag is a token that starts with
38   * {@code @} symbol and is preceded by a whitespace. This check ignores block
39   * tags in comments and inside inline tags {&#64;code } and {&#64;literal }.
40   * </p>
41   * <p>
42   * Rationale: according to
43   * <a href="https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/11/docs/specs/doc-comment-spec.html#block-tags">
44   * the specification</a> all javadoc block tags should be placed at the beginning
45   * of a line. Tags that are not placed at the beginning are treated as plain text.
46   * To recognize intentional tag placement to text area it is better to escape the
47   * {@code @} symbol, and all non-escaped tags should be located at the beginning
48   * of the line. See NOTE section for details on how to escape.
49   * </p>
50   * <p>
51   * To place a tag explicitly as text, escape the {@code @} symbol with HTML entity
52   * &amp;#64; or place it inside {@code {@code }}, for example:
53   * </p>
54   * <pre>
55   * &#47;**
56   *  * &amp;#64;serial literal in {&#64;code &#64;serial} Javadoc tag.
57   *  *&#47;
58   * </pre>
59   * <ul>
60   * <li>
61   * Property {@code tags} - Specify the javadoc tags to process.
62   * Type is {@code java.lang.String[]}.
63   * Default value is {@code author, deprecated, exception, hidden, param, provides,
64   * return, see, serial, serialData, serialField, since, throws, uses, version}.
65   * </li>
66   * <li>
67   * Property {@code violateExecutionOnNonTightHtml} - Control when to print violations
68   * if the Javadoc being examined by this check violates the tight html rules defined at
69   * <a href="https://checkstyle.org/writingjavadocchecks.html#Tight-HTML_rules">Tight-HTML Rules</a>.
70   * Type is {@code boolean}.
71   * Default value is {@code false}.
