==== Lp4all ==== [[http://www.linux-france.org/~dmentre/lp4all/|Lp4all]] is a modern and efficient yet simple literate programming tool. According to [[http://en.wikipedia.org/|Wikipedia]], //Literate programming is the writing of computer programs primarily for human beings to read, similar to a work of literature; hence the name literate programming. This contrasts with the traditional view that a programmer's primary creation is source code to be read by a computer.// //Lp4all// allows to document your code directly inside the language comments, using a simple Wiki-like syntax. It then generates an HTML browsable version of your code and documentation. //Lp4all// is similar to the traditionnal [[http://www.eecs.harvard.edu/nr/noweb/|Noweb]] literate programming tool, except that: - Noweb uses a special file markup to mix source code and documentation. Source files must be generated from the Noweb sources. It works great when one uses a simple text-editor to edit his code source. However, it doesn't work when one must use a specific third-party editor to edit the source code. In //Lp4all//, documentation is stored in the comments of the language: the original source code is still directly usable by the language compiler; - Noweb uses a LaTeX syntax, //Lp4all// uses a Wiki syntax. //Lp4all// is neither a clone of [[http://www.doxygen.org|Doxygen]] because Doxygen is only an API documentation system, while //Lp4all// is really intended to fully document your source code. Moreover, //Lp4all// is language-agnostic: it doesn't know anything about functions, methods, constants or classes. === Screenshot === Hum.
