/**
* The interface for a custom taglet supported by doclets such as
* the {@link jdk.javadoc.doclet.StandardDoclet standard doclet}.
* Custom taglets are used to handle custom tags in documentation
* comments; custom tags can be either <i>block tags</i>, which
* appear at the end of a comment, or <i>inline tags</i>, which
* can appear within the main body of a documentation comment.
*
* <p> Each implementation of a taglet must provide a public no-argument constructor
* to be used by doclets to instantiate the taglet. A doclet will interact
* with classes implementing this interface as follows:
*
* <ol>
* <li> The doclet will create an instance of a taglet using the no-arg
* constructor of the taglet class.
* <li> Next, the doclet calls the {@link #init(DocletEnvironment,Doclet) init}
method with an appropriate environment and doclet.
* <li> Afterwards, the doclet calls {@link #getName() getName},
* {@link #getAllowedLocations() getAllowedLocations}, and
* {@link #isInlineTag() isInlineTag}, to determine the characteristics
* of the tags supported by the taglet.
* <li> As appropriate, the doclet calls the
* {@link #toString(List,Element) toString} method on the taglet object,
* giving it a list of tags and the element for which the tags are part
* of the element's documentation comment, from which the taglet can
* determine the string to be included in the documentation.
* The doclet will typically specify any requirements on the contents of
* the string that is returned.
* </ol>
*
* <p>If a taglet object is created and used without the above protocol being
* followed, then the taglet's behavior is not defined by this interface
* specification.
*
* @apiNote
* It is typical for a taglet to be designed to work in conjunction with a
* specific doclet.
*
* @see <a href="StandardDoclet.html#user-defined-taglets">User-Defined Taglets
* for the Standard Doclet</a>
