Description

As the strict mode is defined, what things are important to handle in "Lax" mode?

  • Unique @tags
  • Using @return instead of @returns
  • Using @typeparam instead of @param (I haven't seen this but TypeDoc supports it)

Research direction

Start by reviewing how strict and Lax modes are defined, then examine the listed cases: unique @tags, @return versus @returns, and @typeparam versus @param. Done requires an agreed specification for which nonstandard tags Lax mode should process; the payload names no implementation files or tests.
