Yep, essentially ditto. :)
I would like to add that nothing is technically generated* they. The markdown files are rendered on the fly using a Javascript Markdown parser. The layout is simply HTML5 and CSS, with a dash of jQuery to make the buttons work.

Not sure Google would be able to index the docs, since they are in markdown format. But I'm not an expert in how Google index the pages.

No, google doesn't. I've built a similar solution for the Cocos2D documentation that is going to be released soon.
I've added a php server component to deliver HTML snapshots to google crawlers for that purpose.
