Code blocks in Doxygen comments have a leading space

[cD1rtX3]

Type: Bug

/**
 * a
 *
 * ```c
 * a
 * ```
 *
 * @param a a
 */
void f(int a) {}

This occurs because we don't strip the single space after the star. If it wasn't there, this doesn't happen:

/**
a

```c
a
```

@param a a
 */
void f(int a) {}

@cD1rtX3 The current implementation doesn't trim white space between the triple backtick blocks, only the starting *.

[cD1rtX3]

Right, that's the problem. It should trim exactly one space if that star is there. That or it could detect the lowest level of indentation in the block and trim up to that.
