## ocaml-camlp5-7.08p1 – OCaml Preprocessor and Pretty-Printer

## Description

    Camlp5 is a preprocessor and pretty-printer for OCaml programs. It also
    provides parsing and printing tools.

    As a preprocessor, it allows one to:
    * extend the syntax of OCaml,
    * redefine the whole syntax of the language.

    As a pretty printer, it allows one to:
    * display OCaml programs in an elegant way,
    * convert from one syntax to another,
    * check the results of syntax extensions.

    Camlp5 also provides some parsing and pretty printing tools:
    * extensible grammars
    * extensible printers
    * stream parsers and lexers
    * pretty print module

    It works as a shell command and can also be used in the OCaml toplevel.
