I note with things like https://ocharles.org.uk/dhall-grammar.html#simpleLabel that it doesn't distinguish between things that shouldn't parse - that whole reserved
block is a look-ahead that must fail, so it shouldn't show up here. This might suggest a separate grammar, like the ABNF, that can actually be read by GrammKit (or replacing the ABNF by something else).

I see dundalek/GrammKit#9 discusses that exact issue, and they are working out potential improvements. It turns out the negative look ahead is shown, but the double vertical lines is a bit too subtle.

Yeah, I think this is a good idea. An appropriate place to host this is underneath the reference subsection of the Dhall wiki:
https://github.com/dhall-lang/dhall-lang/wiki

Actually, you don't even need to "host" it there per se. You can just have the wiki link to wherever you host it (i.e. on your site or in the dhall-js
project if you prefer).

It'd be nice to remove an indirection and have it directly on the wiki. I think GrammKit can generate Markdown, so I'll explore that. I will probably have to host the images externally, if it generates them, but I'm fine with that.

I also wonder if it should be checked it, and versioned in parallel with changes to the ABNF file.

Yeah, you can feel free to check it in. The place it would go is underneath the standard/
directory since it is another presentation of the standard grammar

Cool, assign this to me and I'll get a PR up.

I'm unlikely to get round to fixing this. Sorry all! Closing for now.
