Whether to set the offset to the offset (if options.considerFloating is true) or roughOffset (if options.considerFloating is false) property. If true, the function will return a boolean value indicating if the comment is moved instead of the offset. (This value can be used to stop recalculating comment offsets if a number of comments in a row have not moved for optimization purposes.) Setting the offset property implies that the layers offset will be updated afterwards - otherwise, the next attempt to call this method to update the layers offset will return false meaning the comment isn't moved, and the layers offset will stay wrong.

maybeSplitParent()

Source:

For internal use. Apply a very specific fix for cases when an indented comment starts with a list like this:

    <li>Item</li>
  </ul>
</dd>
