title: CheckStyle: JavaDoc <p> Separator Violations
body: <p>I have the following JavaDoc, with a <code>&lt;p&gt;</code> separator but (1) no blank lines and (2) the text after <code>&lt;p&gt;</code> continues on the next line, all of which is normal.</p>
  
  <pre><code>/**
   * Fetches a list of Org beans based on the provided org code.
   * &lt;p&gt;
   * Note: This also takes care of Parent/Child orgs.
   * 
   * @param org Organization string
   * @return List of Org beans
   * @throws Exception
   */
  List&lt;Org&gt; loadOrgs(String org) throws Exception;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>In CheckStyle, my configuration is <a href="http://checkstyle.sourceforge.net/apidocs/com/puppycrawl/tools/checkstyle/checks/javadoc/JavadocParagraphCheck.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">per the spec</a> to allow full flexibility with <code>&lt;p&gt;</code> formatting:</p>
  
  <pre><code>    &lt;module name="JavadocParagraph"&gt;
          &lt;property name="allowNewlineParagraph" value="true"/&gt;        
      &lt;/module&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But after refreshing, CheckStyle still reports 2 problems with the <code>&lt;p&gt;</code>:</p>
  
  <p><a href="https://i.stack.imgur.com/yghmW.jpg" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/yghmW.jpg" alt="enter image description here"></a></p>
  
  <pre><code>- &lt;p&gt; tag should be preceded with an empty line.
  - &lt;p&gt; tag should be placed immediately before the first word, with no space after
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Any idea how to get rid of both of these?</p>
