When `MarkdownTransformer` would process the label of a `@see` tag together with the leading reference, it would set the position of the label to the position immediately following the reference, losing the actual source position of the label. The solution is to process the label without the leading reference.

Suggestion:

            List<DCTree> transformed = new ArrayList<>();
