But XSLT can already do that Stefan?
As I mentioned, for me, being a developer, the documentation is embedded into the code, not the other way around. Thus, the file to be processed is primarily a source file that can readily be compiled / interpreted, while documentation is embedded as annotation that may be extracted. (This extraction is even part of the language / runtime in case of Python, but not in other languages such as C++ or Java.)

OK, just a different approach.



http://www.dpawson.co.uk/temp/genWrapper.sh.html shows the start
of an example.

Have you any examples to compare Stefan?
Any piece of java code with embedded javadoc comments, for example. Here is some C++ code, with embedded documentation, and cross-referenced via Synopsis: http://synopsis.fresco.org/sxr/Source/src/Synopsis/Buffer.hh.html The respective documentation is here: http://synopsis.fresco.org/docs/Manual/cxx/index.html.

OK, quite a different approach and usage.

Note that this is not quite the same level of literate programming as you seem to aim for,

Yes,

as I only document language artifacts themselves, i.e. variables, types, functions, etc., while you want to annotate individual statements.


Or indeed anything from a complete shell script down to commenting
on individual lines.


Thanks Stefan.
