Re: Issues with literate programming DSSSL Script

[MARK.WROTH@xxxxxxxxxxx (Wroth, Mark)]

I suspect that this approach (if I understand it correctly) would require a
significantly more complex tool than a tangle/weave pair to make the
authoring process reasonable.  

I think it would also sacrifice the ability to reorder code? Maybe not --
I'm not clear on the limitations of a HyTime linking setup.

Just to add my two cents

Its seems the ideal way to do literate programming would be to create a
property set for whatever language you are using and then use HyTime to
hyperlink your documentation to the appropriate parts of you code.

That way you don't have any tangle-detangle issues.

Creating an environment to implement this would require a lot of work I
expect.
