-In the above snippet, `"src"` is the directory that contains the source files. Inside that directory, each `.js` file needs a `@module` annotation with a path relative to that `"moduleRoot"`, e.g.

 ## What this plugin does
 
 When using the `class` keyword for defining classes (required by TypeScript), JSDoc requires `@classdesc` and `@extends` annotations. With this plugin, no `@classdesc` and `@extends` annotations are needed.

+## Module id resolution
+
+For resolving module ids, this plugin mirrors the method used by JSDoc:
+
+1. Parse the referenced module for an `@module` tag.
+2. If a tag is found and it has an explicit id, use that.
+3. If a tag is found, but it doesn't have an explicit id, use the module's file path relative to the nearest shared parent directory, and remove the file extension.
