The Highcharts 3.0 beta was announced today and there's a healthy discussion occurring on Hacker News. In the thread of comments about the release was a comment from Torn about what Highcharts is using for their api documentation:

Anyone know what they {Highcharts] use to generate their api documentation at http://api.highcharts.com? I'm guessing it's built from jsdoc-style comments in the source, but haven't come across js docs that look as good as these.

Like Torn I believe they are using some form of documentation generation. What I am unclear about is if they are using a modified version of jsdoc or something else entirely.

What is Highcharts using to generate their JavaScript api documentation?

Although I'm interested, I don't think this question is for this site. – Florian Margaine Feb 21 at 18:38
@FlorianMargaine I debated between here and Stack Overflow. Programmers.SE seemed more appropriate, but I am a lurker here more than an active participant. Is there an SE site that this should be migrated to? – ahsteele Feb 21 at 19:01
Generally speaking, I don't think this kind of question belong to any site. I might be wrong though. – Florian Margaine Feb 21 at 19:12
