Supported tags

You can use tags inside the comments to have PasDoc automatically add some information or have it treat some text in a special manner. A tag is always prefixed with the "@" character. Some tags require an argument which must be enclosed in braces (see also TagsParametersWithoutParenthesis), others do not, see TagsParameters.
