What would you like?

Would like better documentation on the expected output file format of a preprocessor.

If I output as es, I get error Cannot use import statement outside a module

If I output as cjs, I get error require is not defined

Must each output file include all code to be ran, no importing of other files? Why is this? This seems like something that should be fixed. At the minimum, documentation should be improved.

Why is this needed?

Would expect an ES output to work, but it doesn't.
