Hi,

Is there a good tool to extract comments from a js file and produce a
document?

Thanks in advance.

Define what you mean by "comment", like:
1 anything between /* and */
2 anything on a line from //

Write a short Javascript script using linear parsing and/or regex.

If you're talking about JavaDoc-style comments, take a look at JsDoc
Toolkit:

The only problem with it is that its authors still do not seem to understand
that they are not producing documentation for a class-based programming
language but for a prototype-based programming language; not for a different
kind of Java code, but for several ECMAScript implementations. As a result,
you find classes and fields where you should find object types (defined by
constructors) and properties.

Prototype.js was written by people who don't know javascript for people
who don't know javascript. People who don't know javascript are not
the best source of advice on designing systems that use javascript.
