  * some js files use type definitions (comments with @type tags); these are also used by the compiler, and are only needed if the code is to be compiled together with the library
 
- * html files load `resources/common.js` and some js files define the Map renderer option as `exampleNS.getRendererFromQueryString()`; application code would not need these
+ * html files load `resources/common.js` and some scripts use `common.getRendererFromQueryString()` to set the map renderer; application code would not need these
