How can I create Xcode docsets that look and work like the ones in Apple Core Library

I want to create a docset for my API that looks and works like the Apple Core Library docset. For example, look at the page for NSString.

I've tried Doxygen and I've tried headerdoc2html. Neither does very close to what I want.

The files generated by headerdoc don't have most of the higher-level structure that the Apple files do, and the graphics design is different. Down at the more detailed level, like when looking at a specific method, things are closer, but don't have all the detailed structure.

The files generated by Doxygen have a very different high-level structure, not to mention having a very different graphic design.

What else should I try? Or are there parameters to either of these tools that would give me something closer?

Thanks, Pat

The best I have found so far is Tomaz's appledoc. With it I can create apple style api documentation and instal it directly into the DocSets that Xcode is uisng. Works very well and is based on doxygen.

I'm also really interested in this :( Ive been able to generate docsets and doxygen docs but if I could make them look the same (or approaching) as the "normal" apple docs (like SDK ones), that would be better. :/

Unfortunatelly, the Doxygen output looking and behaving like an Apple Developer Library Document is still to be discovered...

You can use Doxygen to generate Xcode docsets.
