Research direction

No source file, test, or entry point is named. Start by locating Transcrypt's compiler and JavaScript output-generation paths, then determine how comments are currently handled and define expected output for a one-off transpilation. Done means comments are preserved in generated JavaScript with regression coverage.

Description

IS: adapt doc IS: enhancement IS: question

Hi there, my project will be JS going forward so I'm looking to do a one-off transpile and I'd rather not have to manually copy the comments across as part of the clean up. Is there a way to keep them in the output?

Thanks!
