Why sometimes the top-most comment in TSDoc doesn't show in the generated documentation?

I'm using TSDoc to document my TypeScript project and using TypeDoc to generate HTML documentation.

I can't seem to find the answer as to why sometimes the top comment in the file shows up in the generated documentation (which is useful to explain the purpose of a whole file) and sometimes it doesn't.

I tried pasting a top comment that works in a file into another file but it didn't show up. The comment is properly formatted. This is the comment, in case it's relevant:

/**
 * This file provides functions for interacting with CNPJ data.
 * You might want to use some more complex functions from the **cpf_cnpj** library.
 */

Does anyone know why it happens and how can I work around this issue?

This depends on whether there is another comment between the top comment and any other expressions. The fix is to follow your top level comments with another doc comment.

/**
 * This file provides functions for interacting with CNPJ data.
 * You might want to use some more complex functions from the **cpf_cnpj** library.
 */
/** End file docs */

More context is found in this issue.
