Yes, I'm using Doxygen for Lua. Unfortunately, my employer wouldn't be happy about me sharing my preprocessor with the world :-(
I did it with a C++ program using the boost regex library. It also allows you to use a "\script" command to comment functions in C code as part of the script API. (This is the most useful bit, actually). I allow --[[! and --[[* to start Doxygen comment blocks in Lua.
One problem I haven't solved yet is how to document functions with module names attached (e.g. math.sin()). Doxygen doesn't like the dot.
Sorry I can't help you as much as I'd like.
Martin.
