HTML starting tags that span multiple lines were previously not allowed (or rather, only the starting line was lexed as HTML). Doxygen allows those tags.

This PR allows the starting tags to span multiple lines. They can't span multiple (C-)Comments, though (it's likely a user-error). Multiple BCPL comments are fine as those are single lines (shown below).

Example:

/// <a
///     href="foo"
/// >Aaa</a>b
int Test;

Fixes #28321.

Thank you for submitting a Pull Request (PR) to the LLVM Project!

This PR will be automatically labeled and the relevant teams will be notified.

If you wish to, you can add reviewers by using the "Reviewers" section on this page.

If this is not working for you, it is probably because you do not have write permissions for the repository. In which case you can instead tag reviewers by name in a comment by using @ followed by their GitHub username.

If you have received no comments on your PR for a week, you can request a review by "ping"ing the PR by adding a comment “Ping”. The common courtesy "ping" rate is once a week. Please remember that you are asking for valuable time from other developers.

If you have further questions, they may be answered by the LLVM GitHub User Guide.

You can also ask questions in a comment on this PR, on the LLVM Discord or on the forums.

This PR allows the starting tags to span multiple lines. They can't span multiple (C-)Comments, though (it's likely a user-error). Multiple BCPL comments are fine as those are single lines (shown below).

Please be sure to also add a release note to clang/docs/ReleaseNotes.rst so users know about the fix. In principle, the changes LGTM but I do wonder if this is a part of the compiler that could benefit from some fuzzing to help shake out parsing issues.

but I do wonder if this is a part of the compiler that could benefit from some fuzzing to help shake out parsing issues.

That's probably a good idea. I'm not sure how fuzzing works in Clang. At least having -Wdocumentation on while fuzzing would be good (assuming the fuzzer generates comments).


One thing that's still missing from comment parsing is the ability to skip HTML comments (<!-- ... -->). I could make a followup PR for this.

Ping - This is done from my end, the fuzzer and parsing for <!-- --> can be done in followup PRs.

@Nerixyz Congratulations on having your first Pull Request (PR) merged into the LLVM Project!

Your changes will be combined with recent changes from other authors, then tested by our build bots. If there is a problem with a build, you may receive a report in an email or a comment on this PR.

Please check whether problems have been caused by your change specifically, as the builds can include changes from many authors. It is not uncommon for your change to be included in a build that fails due to someone else's changes, or infrastructure issues.

How to do this, and the rest of the post-merge process, is covered in detail here.

If your change does cause a problem, it may be reverted, or you can revert it yourself. This is a normal part of LLVM development. You can fix your changes and open a new PR to merge them again.

If you don't get any reports, no action is required from you. Your changes are working as expected, well done!

HTML starting tags that span multiple lines were previously not allowed
(or rather, only the starting line was lexed as HTML). Doxygen allows
those tags.

This PR allows the starting tags to span multiple lines. They can't span
multiple (C-)Comments, though (it's likely a user-error). Multiple BCPL
comments are fine as those are single lines (shown below).

Example:

```c
/// <a
///     href="foo"
/// >Aaa</a>b
int Test;
```

Fixes llvm#28321.
