HTML comments break the Javadoc style HTML check

[theqaguy]

If the javadoc contains html tags and those tags include a comment () the detection of unclosed tags is broken.

Example:

/**
* <pre>
*text
*<!-- comment -->
*text
* </pre>
**/
public void method() {}

This will report an unclosed <pre> tag - which is not correct. The issue is caused by a "off by one" problem in the TagParser class.

Please see the attached patch file (rename .png to .patch) for a new test, test data and a fixed TagParser.

Greets!

What I forgot to mention: This issue & fix are related to the released 5.7 version.
