Tangler: literate programming in HTML 🔗

by on .

Don Knuth’s original literate programming tool, WEB, weaved TeX documents out of literate source files, and many, maybe even most, LP tools written since have bias toward using TeX as the output format. But as Mark Pilgrim wrote many years ago, HTML is not an output format. HTML is The Format. So I decided to have a go at writing a literate programming tool whose input documents are simply HTML.
