HTML problems in Javadoc (DocLint)

Reports the same HTML issues in the Javadoc comments that have been reported by DocLint since Java 8.

The inspection detects the following issues:

  • Self-closed, unclosed, unknown, misplaced, or empty tag

  • Unknown or wrong attribute

  • Misplaced text

Example:

/** * Unknown tag: List<String> * Unclosed tag: error</b> * Misplaced text or tag: <ul><li>one</li>, <li>two</li></ul> * Wrong or empty attribute: <a href=""></a> * Self-closed tag: <br/> * ... */ void sample(){ }
