Thanks for the feedback! assert is commonly used as a function, but in this case, it turns out to be a module as well. You can see this by clicking on that module link; you'll go to a page that shows assert.js and see that module.exports is assigned to the ok function (which you can click on to jump to its definition). Other attributes are also defined on module.exports, however, so you can see that you can not only do "assert(condition, message)" but also "assert.equal(condition, message)", "assert.notEqual(condition, message)", "assert.deepEqual(condition, message)", etc. You're right, auto-generating docs is not easy! Javascript turns out to be one of the toughest languages to do this for, and we have a long way to go. The properties tab doesn't seem very useful on that page. We're pushing a new change to the UI that will hopefully make this page clearer and more useful in the near future. Please send any more feedback our way!
