I elaborated a little bit in the past here: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/devdocs/T9_FsjB1kHw

I've been thinking about writing blog posts on DevDocs's internals and the techniques it uses for a while, but it's hard to find the time, especially when I already spend a lot of my spare time maintaining/updating the app.

That said, feel free to open a GitHub issue to remind me to write blog posts at some point (if there is interest), or if you have specific questions.
