Empty commented line in inline comments leads to error

[jkraskesis]

Inserting an empty commented line in inline comments leads to error: /**

• @startuml
• Alice->Bob : hello
• Bob --> Alice : hello to you too
• @enduml */ leads to [From string (line 3) ]
  @startuml
  Alice->Bob : hello

  • ^^^^^
    Syntax Error?

It would be nice if this was permitted as many editors automatically insert a '*' when adding an extra line in a comment and "blank" lines are helpfull in structuring large inline plantuml cpmments

The YAML support in PlantUML, forced med to handle whitespace differently, since YAML is whitespace-sensitive. Here I take the prefix before @startuml and remove it from the other lines if it's there. In this case the prefix is " ", so a line with only " " will not end up as the empty line, at least this is the intention. If the line really consists of " " and not " ", my implementation must be faulty. I could also add logic for detecting the case where a trimmed prefix equals a trimmed line and remove that line.
