I guess the parser should wait for a line break before interpreting another @ char as a new jsDoc tag?

If you guys fix this. You might try the even more complex patten from here:

http://emailregex.com/

/^(([^<>()\[\]\\.,;:\s@"]+(\.[^<>()\[\]\\.,;:\s@"]+)*)|(".+"))@((\[[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}])|(([a-zA-Z\-0-9]+\.)+[a-zA-Z]{2,}))$/

We should special case parsing of pattern tags to parse text till end of line instead of till next tag.

PRs welcomed

By the way, where is the @pattern tag is commonly used? I couldn't find anything on usejsdoc or the closure docs, and google failed me completely -- this issue is invariably in the top 10 hits.

Yes it is!

I use jsDoc tags for creating swagger files.

Swagger has "pattern" as validator.

If you want to validate an email adress - you have to use pattern and a "complex" pattern :)
