While dox is a nice tool to generate api documentation for Haxe users, I am looking for a tool that can generate api documentation oriented towards javascript users

Does anybody know any ?

To people having their lib used by javascript user, what is your strategy to deal with documentation ?

Currently the doc is generated with haxe “speak” :

- constructor is named “new”
- classes are grouped in "packages
- type name are CamelCase following Haxe convention
- …

These are not big differences but can be confusing for a js developers

Dox has templates that are quite customizable, you could give that a try:
