Well, yep, I've worked with mmm-mode and noweb markup, but there was
still that problem with $ in code chunks makeing font-lock not
highlighting properly. Now I want to get rid of that problem, because
without good tools one cannot promote literate programming.
I am not sure whether the problem is mmm-mode or auctex. Auctex is
buggy, no doubt, but I am not completely sure whether solving the auctex
problem will eventually help me.
I am not touching mmm-mode yet, because that code is doing things that
contradict Emacs' definition of major mode. There shouldn't be multiple
major modes existing in an Emacs buffer---(by definition)---so I would
be much more happier if Emacs itself solves the problem of mixing major
modes nicesly. That will probably take ages, so I have to live with
workarounds. MMM-mode is wonderful, but unfortunately unmaintained sind
2004. I haven't actually tried mumamo and multimode, but I've read that
they don't properly support font-locking, so I rather stay with mmm-mode
for now and hope that some day everything will be fixed. ;-)
