doclet

I'd like to create HTNML documentation for a Java class library that includes

programming guide information - beyond just a class reference
code examples in the reference doc
collapsible regions

I want it to look well-styled. Something like this:

alt text

I think that Javadoc exposes a doclet API that allows other parties to provide doc generation integrated in Javadoc. Is there a doclet option that I can use (for free) that does something a little nicer than the standard javadoc output?

I tried googling for this but no luck. Suggestions?
