* Scan backticks in jsdoc as a single token less often
Previously, matching backticks in jsdoc would always be scanned as one
token to aid parsing incorrect jsdoc that uses backticks for parameter
names:
``js
/** @param {string} `nope`
* @param {number} `not needed`
*/
```
However, this is wrong for code fences, which use triple backticks. This
fix parses a single backtick as a single token if it's immediately
followed by another backtick or by a newline. It retains the
questionable tokenisation of backticks-as-pairs in other cases, however.
A better fix might be to have the parser ignore backticks in jsdoc
instead.
* Add test case
* Handle jsdoc backticks in the parser, not scanner
Previously, the jsdoc scanner had ad-hoc handling of backticks that was
similar in structure to the normal scanner's handling, but much simpler.
This was a smaller code change, but is handled backwards: the special
case of backtick-quoted parameter names was handled in the scanner
instead of in the jsdoc identifier parsing code. That made it overapply
and block correct handling of asterisks across newlines, which was most
obvious in code fences inside jsdoc, as in #23517.
Fixes #23517
* More cleanup
TypeScript
TypeScript is a language for application-scale JavaScript. TypeScript adds optional types to JavaScript that support tools for large-scale JavaScript applications for any browser, for any host, on any OS. TypeScript compiles to readable, standards-based JavaScript. Try it out at the playground, and stay up to date via our blog and Twitter account.
Installing
For the latest stable version:
npm install -g typescript
For our nightly builds:
npm install -g typescript@next

Documentation
Building
In order to build the TypeScript compiler, ensure that you have Git and Node.js installed.
Clone a copy of the repo:
git clone https://github.com/Microsoft/TypeScript.git
Change to the TypeScript directory:
cd TypeScript
Install Gulp tools and dev dependencies:
npm install -g gulp
npm install
Use one of the following to build and test:
gulp local # Build the compiler into built/local
gulp clean # Delete the built compiler
gulp LKG # Replace the last known good with the built one.
# Bootstrapping step to be executed when the built compiler reaches a stable state.
gulp tests # Build the test infrastructure using the built compiler.
gulp runtests # Run tests using the built compiler and test infrastructure.
# You can override the host or specify a test for this command.
# Use --host=<hostName> or --tests=<testPath>.
gulp runtests-browser # Runs the tests using the built run.js file. Syntax is gulp runtests. Optional
parameters '--host=', '--tests=[regex], --reporter=[list|spec|json|<more>]'.
gulp baseline-accept # This replaces the baseline test results with the results obtained from gulp runtests.
gulp lint # Runs tslint on the TypeScript source.
gulp help # List the above commands.
Usage
node built/local/tsc.js hello.ts
