Lightweight Literate programming

lilp is a preprocessor that allows you to write literate programming code using the Markdown syntax.

It is an experiment and shouldn't be used for any serious matter. Or should it?!

How it works

Simply write your source file as if you were writing a normal Markdown document.

puts "code inside code blocks will be extracted, while the rest will
      be tranformed as comments"

Everything but code blocks will be transformed as comments.

Compiling

lilp comes with a command line tool that takes as an input file names, and a "-o" option to specify an output directory.

If your files are under the lib directory, and you want to compile them into the tangled directory, then do:

lilp lib/* -o tangled/
