Hello

Here is the latest Caml Weekly News, for the week of September 02 to 09, 2008.

1. Batteries Included documentation, updated preview
2. OCamlSpotter: OCaml compiler extension for source browsing

We're happy to announce a new version of the API documentation, available at
https://forge.ocamlcore.org/docman/index.php?group_id=17&selected_doc_group_id=49&language_id=1.
It's still a preview, but a much more readable one than what we had provided
so far.

I have written a small compiler patch called ocamlspotter. It extends
-annot option and records all the variable definition locations, so
that we can jump from variable uses to their definitions easily from
editors such as emacs.

It is still in a beta version quality, but it is already very useful
to browse very complex ocaml project trees.

The source is available as a diff against a cvs version of OCaml compiler at:

Comments and suggestions are welcome.
			

Using folding to read the cwn in vim 6+

Here is a quick trick to help you read this CWN if you are viewing it using vim (version 6 or greater).

:set foldmethod=expr
:set foldexpr=getline(v:lnum)=~'^=\\{78}$'?'<1':1
zM

If you know of a better way, please let me know.
