We've spent a lot of time recently trying to make odoc more able to generate structured documentation sites, so I've gone all in and am trialling using it as a tool to generate my entire site. This is a bit of an experiment, and I don't know how well it will work out, but let's see how it goes.</p><p>Additionally, I've recently been working on a project currently called <code>odoc_notebook</code>, which is a set of tools to allow odoc <code>mld</code> files to be used as a sort of Jupyter-style notebook. The idea is that you can write both text and code in the same file, and then run the code in the notebook interactively. Since I've only got a webserver, all the execution of code has to be done client side, so I'm making extensive use of the phenomenal <a href=\"https://github.com/ocsigen/js_of_ocaml\">Js_of_ocaml</a> project to get an OCaml engine running in the browser.</p><p>My focus has initially been on getting 'toplevel-style' code execution working. As an example, let's write a little demo.</p><p>Continue reading <a href=\"https://jon.recoil.org/blog/2025/04/this-site.html\">here</a></p>",
