We have kindly had a railroad diagram generated for us for the coq grammar:
diagram.xhtml
from this issue:
https://github.com/coq/coq/issues/14575

Might it be something worth having around as documentation?

I personally don't understand any of this.

And note that we already have our own tool to sync the parser and the documented syntax.

Did you see the flow diagrams? I thought they might be useful.

Maybe that's because I don't know enough about parsing but it was a bit difficult for me to decipher those. I'm more used to the way we document the grammar in the manual.
