Research direction

No source file, entry point, or test is named in the issue. Reproduce the JavaDoc formatting behavior in NetBeans using the supplied HTML table example, then locate the JavaDoc comment pretty-printing path. Done means the formatter can preserve the shown indentation instead of always left-trimming it.
