Sample odoc API documentation and manuals

A sample output of generated API documentation and manuals on a best-effort maximal set of packages of the OCaml opam repository is available here.

The Vg module and its sub-modules is a good example to look at, it has a good mix of documentation cases.

The different themes distributed with odig can be seen on the sample at the following addresses.

Note that for technical reasons the OCaml manual under these addresses is always themed according to odig.light. This is not what happens if you use odig for yourself, the manual will render according to your theme's color scheme.
