Feature Request: exlude tags from comment formating

[JuanZamudioGBM]

Environment

• Visual Studio version: 2019 16.6.1
• CodeMaid version: 11.1
• Code language: C#

Description

Currently there isn't a way (that I know of) to exclude certain tags from comment formatting, in my case I want to exclude the threadsafety from formatting.

Steps to recreate

1. Add a class with a threadsafety tag
2. run comment formating
3. the content of the tag change

Current behavior

The content of the tag is changed

Expected behavior

The content of the tag is not touched

Thanks for the suggestion! I agree I don't believe there is currently a way to exclude individual tags. I could see that being a bit problematic to implement but will defer to @willemduncan

Changing the formatting of a tag is easy, all handling of XML tag types is configured here:

codemaid/CodeMaid/Model/Comments/Options/FormatterOptionsXml.cs

Lines 44 to 56 in 787be26

	Tags = new Dictionary<string, FormatterOptionsXmlTag>
	{
	["summary"] = new FormatterOptionsXmlTag { Split = settings.Formatting_CommentXmlSplitSummaryTagToMultipleLines ? XmlTagNewLine.Always : XmlTagNewLine.Default },
	["copyright"] = new FormatterOptionsXmlTag { Split = XmlTagNewLine.Always, Indent = CodeCommentHelper.CopyrightExtraIndent },
	["code"] = new FormatterOptionsXmlTag { Split = XmlTagNewLine.BeforeAndAfter, Literal = true },
	["p"] = FormatterOptionsXmlTagOverrideSplitBeforeAfter,
	["para"] = FormatterOptionsXmlTagOverrideSplitBeforeAfter,
	["list"] = FormatterOptionsXmlTagOverrideSplitBeforeAfter,
	["listheader"] = FormatterOptionsXmlTagOverrideSplitBeforeAfter,
	["item"] = FormatterOptionsXmlTagOverrideSplitBeforeAfter,
	["term"] = FormatterOptionsXmlTagOverrideSplitBeforeAfter,
	["description"] = FormatterOptionsXmlTagOverrideSplitBeforeAfter,
	}

The problem is, there is no way to configure those settings without changing the code yet. My XAML UI skills are non-existent, and I didn't manage to hook into visual studio's .editorconfig support either.
