Of course, *@doctags* ARE at the beginning of a line. :+1: Dunno why I overlooked this. So I'll change this to:

     TAG_REGEX = /^@(\w+)(?:\s+(.*))?/

This change also excludes any optional white-spaces before *@doctags* … At least my tests don't contain any preceding white-spaces (also tested with `--whitespace-after-token=false`)

Or do you mean, the whole change is unnecessary ? Then I might have missed something …
