That's strange because I modified the man pages generator to add "no description" as description, and it is indeed generated in this case for StdLabels.Array. I have, in StdLabels.Array.3o : .TH "Module" StdLabels.Array "2003-10-01" OCamldoc "OCaml library" .SH NAME StdLabels.Array \- no description .SH Module Module StdLabels.Array .SH Documentation .... Are you sure the man pages you are using were generated by ocaml 3.07 ? Man pages extension for ocaml stdlib changed from .3 to .3o in ocaml 3.07, and it seems you're using old .3 files.
