Description

Related to #458, but TSDoc (a tool maintained by Miscrosoft) although influenced by JSDoc, has a strictly distinct syntax. For example, @default in JSDOC is @defaultValue in TSDOC. @inheritDoc doesn't have the same semantics, and require an argument in TSDoc... etc.

The full specification is yet to be written, but there is already a very well documented syntax reference here. See https://github.com/microsoft/tsdoc/issues/130 for updates on this specific issue.

Research direction

Start by reading related issue #458 and the linked TSDoc syntax reference, then check microsoft/tsdoc#130 for specification updates. Compare the existing JSDoc handling with TSDoc's distinct syntax and semantics; done means the agreed TSDoc support is documented and validated against the referenced syntax.
