Agenda

Attending

Previous actions

@jonludlam to find out status of dune build @doc supporting external libs -- Not done
@jonludlam to post on discuss about plans for replacing ocamldoc plugins -- Not done
@jonludlam to ask @dbuenzli whether odig uses odoc html-fragment It does: it's used to for the --index-intro argument. Should be made redundant with the new parent-child work. Hence, no urgency to fix the code, it'll be GC'd soon.

Status report

Lots of PRs merged since last time
Work begun on parent/child work
Scopes need attention

CI

New tests

New code to dump odoc/odocl files as json.
To be used for test/debug mainly.
Tests can be made for model directly rather than via html output
Example in PR - https://github.com/ocaml/odoc/pull/502
Using dune's new cram testing (mdx test support in dune a bit lacking)

Travis / ocaml-ci

Travis very slow, but still had macOS / esy tests that ocaml-ci doesn't
ocaml-ci lightning quick
suggestion: Move as many tests as possible to ocaml-ci. What do we do with Travis? Is github actions a better solution?

Latex backend PRs

Need reviewers

Extraction of comment parser library
