When using `swag fmt`, you need to ensure that you have a doc comment for the function to ensure correct formatting.
This is due to `swag fmt` indenting swag comments with tabs, which is only allowed *after* a standard doc comment.

For example, use

```go
// ListAccounts lists all existing accounts
//
// @Summary List accounts
// @Description get accounts
// @Tags accounts
// @Accept json
// @Produce json
// @Param q query string false "name search by q" Format(email)
// @Success 200 {array} model.Account
// @Failure 400 {object} httputil.HTTPError
// @Failure 404 {object} httputil.HTTPError
// @Failure 500 {object} httputil.HTTPError
// @Router /accounts [get]
func (c *Controller) ListAccounts(ctx *gin.Context) {
```
