+<1> Initialize the contexts.
+<2> Appending a plain old java string (jstring) to `out`.
+<3> Appending a GString to `out`.
+<4> Now begins a component 'block', where a component is resolved, created, and either rendered or appended
+    to a child collector (see below).
+<5> First, we define the `resolved` variable, of the type `ComponentContext.Resolved`.
+<6> Resolve it from the context.
+<7> If the context cannot resolve the component, it should throw a `ComponentResolveException`. We catch it
+    here in order to set the template (`this`), line, and column information for debugging purposes.
+<8> Now we can start to create the component by first defining a variable for it.
+<9> The create function takes a few things:
+. The relevant instance of `ComponentContext.Resolved`.
+. Any attributes for the component, passed as a `Map`.
+. Any arguments from the component constructor.
+. A `WebViewComponentChildCollectorClosure`, which is a 'marker' subclass of `Closure`
+(so that constructor args ending with a closure don't get confused), which simply collects
+the children of the component.
+<10> For children, we add the value of the child, rather than appending it directly to `out`.
+The collector itself will be given the `out` writer from the `context`, which will then
+supply the parent with the ability to render to out. This way the parent doesn't ever have to worry about `out` itself
+(though if the parent wants access to `out` (for example, it is using a non-wvc template) it can access the out writer
+from the context).
+<11> Here, a string type is passed, since all lowercase type names are treated as string types in web view components.
+<12> Because this is an intrinsic html element, we set the type here.
+<13> Finally, our child component is added as a `Closure` which accepts the component back again and appends
+it to out.
+
+== Items requiring Groovy ASTNode position adjustment
+
+The following items all need to have their transpiled Groovy ASTNodes' positions adjusted to match the original source
+file, in case there is a Groovy compilation error involved.
+
+* JStrings
+* GStrings
+* Component types (Class and String expressions)
+* Attribute keys and values
+* Component constructor args
