The Documenting Cookbook example does not generate anything for me in the sidebar of docs/index.html

As per the picture on this tutorial page - http://javascriptmvc.com/docs/cookbook.documenting.html - there is a greenish nav sidebar with a list of documentation links. When I follow the example and generate the documentation for cookbook (by doing .\js cookbook\scripts\docs.js) then the sidebar in the generated index.html file is empty apart from the title "cookbook". It looks like the linked-to documentation pages do get generated as there are 128 items in my docs folder that weren't there before.

What am I doing wrong? FYI: I am using Windows 8 to try JavaScriptMVC out on - maybe the generate scripts don't like it?

UPDATE: I thought maybe that I should be using the Git installation method instead of the .zip download of 3.3 but following along with http://javascriptmvc.com/docs/installing.html I've noticed that the wrong jquery library version is referenced in the stealconfig.js files - I corrected that to jquery.1.10.2.js and the cookbook application works under the Git installation method but... the Testing Cookbook bit fails as the Syn folder is missing from the Git install as is qunit. Is there some high level post that I am missing about the current state of javascriptmvc? I am unable to get as far as the documentation section using the Git files.
