031/**
032 * <div>
033 * Checks that the Javadoc content begins from the same position
034 * for all Javadoc comments in the project. Any leading asterisks and spaces
035 * are not counted as the beginning of the content and are therefore ignored.
036 * </div>
037 *
038 * <p>
039 * It is possible to enforce two different styles:
040 * </p>
041 * <ul>
042 * <li>
043 * {@code first_line} - Javadoc content starts from the first line:
044 * <div class="wrapper"><pre class="prettyprint"><code class="language-java">
045 * &#47;** Summary text.
046 *   * More details.
047 *   *&#47;
048 * public void method();
049 * </code></pre></div>
050 * </li>
051 * <li>
052 * {@code second_line} - Javadoc content starts from the second line:
053 * <div class="wrapper"><pre class="prettyprint"><code class="language-java">
054 * &#47;**
055 *   * Summary text.
056 *   * More details.
057 *   *&#47;
058 * public void method();
059 * </code></pre></div>
060 * </li>
061 * </ul>
062 *
063 * <p>
064 * Notes:
065 * This check does not validate the Javadoc summary itself nor its presence.
066 * The check will not report any violations for missing or malformed javadoc summary.
067 * To validate the Javadoc summary use
068 * <a href="https://checkstyle.org/checks/javadoc/summaryjavadoc.html">
069 * SummaryJavadoc</a> check.
070 * </p>
071 *
072 * <p>
073 * The <a href="https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/17/docs/specs/javadoc/doc-comment-spec.html">
074 * Documentation Comment Specification</a> permits leading asterisks on the first line.
075 * For these Javadoc comments:
076 * </p>
077 * <div class="wrapper"><pre class="prettyprint"><code class="language-java">
078 * &#47;***
079 *   * Some text.
080 *   *&#47;
081 * &#47;************
082 *   * Some text.
083 *   *&#47;
084 * &#47;**           **
085 *   * Some text.
086 *   *&#47;
087 * </code></pre></div>
088 *
089 * <p>
090 * The documentation generated will be just "Some text." without any asterisks.
091 * Since these asterisks will not appear in the generated documentation,
092 * they should not be considered as the beginning of the Javadoc content.
093 * In such cases, the check assumes that the Javadoc content begins on the second line.
094 * </p>
095 *
096 * @since 8.27
