I'd heard of literate programming, but its use +escaped me. Still, reading that and looking at what ~noweb~ is I +started thinking that it would indeed be a great way of documenting +code, especially something my emacs init file, since that is not a +serious software project ans some weird stuff goes on in there. + +I still didn't really get the hang of it. It seemed like a lot of work +to get into it and how exactly it fit together with using ~org-mode~ +didn't really hit me so I pushed it aside for the moment. + +Today I see her [[http://sachachua.com/blog/2012/06/literate-programming-emacs-configuration-file/][presenting]] her new literately programming init file +with some links to other resources and I just had to try it too. + +I haven't gotten very far yet, but what I have so far I have put +[[http://ryuslash.org/inittest.html][here]]. It's just the generated HTML file, no org source, and I'm still +messing around with the colors and stuff, but it's fun to see the +result already. + +I don't know if I'm actually going to use it, since my init file's +sloc count is 1038 and its total line count is 1280 lines I fear that +adding even more documentation (= lines) would make my init file +*very* bulky. It is still fun to see and experiment with, though. |
