Class JavadocTagContinuationIndentationCheck

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    Configurable, Contextualizable

    public class JavadocTagContinuationIndentationCheck
    extends AbstractJavadocCheck

    Checks the indentation of the continuation lines in block tags. That is whether the continued description of at clauses should be indented or not. If the text is not properly indented it throws a violation. A continuation line is when the description starts/spans past the line with the tag. Default indentation required is at least 4, but this can be changed with the help of properties below.

    • Property offset - Specify how many spaces to use for new indentation level. Type is int. Default value is 4.
    • Property violateExecutionOnNonTightHtml - Control when to print violations if the Javadoc being examined by this check violates the tight html rules defined at Tight-HTML Rules. Type is boolean. Default value is false.
