 * What happens here? An anonymous function is created with a function body consisting only of a multi-line comment.

 * The function is then serialized to a string using toString(). 
 * Interestingly, the call preserves the function signature along with the function body and the comments within. 
 * Last, a regular expression is run over the serialized form of the function to extract the comment hidden inside. 
 * The end result assigned to the html variable contains the HTML content within the comment.
