Hi all,
As I have said, I use Leo mostly for documentation. The more I
understand about the Leonine way and reStructuredText, the more I use
Leo for that. I'm also exploring Pharo Smalltalk and Seaside. One of the
things I like most about Smalltalk environment is the ability to select
chunks of code and execute them (using the DoIt command). Because Leo is
used for me to document more heterogeneous environments I'm thinking in
having two possibilities:
The first one is enabling <<section>> markup as in literal programming
inside reStructuredText trees. So for example, suppose I have this chunk
of a document about how to execute redmine:
[start chunk]
We are going to start testing redmine in the native rails WEBrick server:
.. sourcode:: shell
cd ~/Programas/Redmine/1.2.1/
./script/server -e production
The output will be something like:
[end chunk]
and I want to change it for something like:
[start chunk]
We are going to start testing redmine in the native rails WEBrick server:
<<start redmine with WEBrick>>
The output will be something like:
[end chunk]
and the <<start redmine with WEBrick>> contains:
[start chunk]
.. sourcode:: shell
cd ~/Programas/Redmine/1.2.1/
./script/server -e production
[end chunk]
So I can clone all chunks of code inside chunks of documentation and
create a tree-script that contains all chunks, create a derivated file
and execute it.
The second option is to have a similar behavior as Smalltalk, selecting
pieces of code, may be all the indented code inside a "..sourcecode::"
directive and a command to execute it.
Any comments or pointers about how to execute any of them would be
greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Offray
