This is a special version of the manual in which substantial differences to the previous version (ocaml release 2.04) are marked with icons and aggressive color (if you enable style sheets). Additionally, metasymbols in the grammar rules are hot (refering to their definition) and there is an additional appendix containing just the ocaml grammar rules. This enhanced version was produced by Hendrik Tews and can be downloaded from here.

The original manual is also available in PDF. Postscript, DVI, as a bundle of HTML files, and as a bundle of Emacs Info files.
