I just pushed a vocab with some ideas that might help you get started:
USE: literate
<LITERATE
This is a section that is mostly text... you can even include "factor" stuff
that doesn't get parsed like the following:
: does-this-work? ( -- x ) "no it doesn't!" ;
But, then if you want to run some code, you can do this:
> : this-totally-works! ( -- x ) 12345 ;
And then some more text, for fun...
LITERATE>
Try it and you'll see that the first definition is ignored, but the second
is parsed:
IN: scratchpad \ does-this-work? see
No word named “does-this-work?” found in current vocabulary search path
IN: scratchpad \ this-totally-works! see
: this-totally-works! ( -- x ) 12345 ;
Is something like this what you're looking for?
