The process I used in my script is one of parsing the prebuilt HTML docs into the data necessary for a quality Dash Docset. As my foremost expertise is in Ruby, I used Nokogiri to accomplish this, and I found it to be similar jQuery in that it makes playing with the XML DOM incredibly fun and easy. Reflecting on this, it's possible the same goal might be achieved in a more elegant fashion using something like Node.js; in the future I may switch over to pure JS to find out.
