Static HTML documentation from docstrings

I'm slightly confused about docstrings and HTML documentation. I used to think that the library reference was (in part) generated from the source code, but this does not seem to be the case. Is there any tool support for keeping documentation and code in sync? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/l
