The particular method of turning javascript comments into a "literate" source view, used in the link under discussion here, comes from Jeremy Ashkenas circa 2009, e.g.:

https://coffeescript.org/annotated-source/lexer.html

https://backbonejs.org/docs/backbone.html

What is the tool that builds this literate source view from source code?
