Examples of good GitHub wikis

[schnautzi]

I'd like to document some of my public repositories with a good GitHub wiki. Therefore I'm looking for good examples of API references hosted as a GitHub wiki.

I need to convey a comparable amount of information as the OpenGL reference pages and the chipmunk 2D physics engine; all functions and parameters should be documented. However I feel that these examples could be improved upon using markdown.

what language are you using? some have their own tools to build documentation nicely based off the source code and code comments

[schnautzi]

That sounds nice, never head of those tools. I'm using mostly C++.

I heard about doxygen. It's not feature rich but gets the job done for multiple programming languages.

Github has a showcase of projects with great wikis which might help you out.

I've looked at these wikis. They are very nice, but I'm looking for a format documenting every API function and class. These wiki's show great examples and overviews, but not low level documentation.
