Add clarity to the docs around version and not generating JS. Raised to handle #469

@basarat - are you happy for me to merge this docs change? |
| ## Which version of TypeScript does atom-typescript use? | ||
| It uses [ntypescript](https://github.com/TypeStrong/ntypescript) which is just a build of Microsoft/Master. This means it's the latest and greatest of the TypeScript goodness. There is a possibility that in the future it will move to TypeScript nightlies which is something that the TypeScript team is planning. | ||

| ## So can I specify which version of TypeScript I'd like to use in atom-typescript? |
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Actually you can use a custom build : https://github.com/TypeStrong/atom-typescript/blob/master/docs/faq.md#can-i-use-a-custom-typescript-compiler and effectively a different TypeScript compiler version ... as long as it is compatible with the latest version. Please not that newer compiler version are rarely 100% API compatible (something that is internal to the compiler ... doesn't impact TS source code but does impact TS dev tools) with previous compiler versions so your mileage may vary.
Brought in line with @basarat's comments.

Thanks for the clarification @basarat. I've amended the docs in line with what you've said and moved the compiler option a little further up so things on a similar topic are grouped. Does this work for you? |
