The first paper we wrote about elucidative programming was focussed on a number of
requirements. These requirements are listed on this page.
Target The internal documentation must be oriented towards current and future developers of the program
Purpose The internal documentation is intended to address explanation which serves to maintain the
program understanding and to clarify the thoughts behind the program
Separation The program source file must be intact, without embedded or surrounding documentation
Tools The programmer must experience support of the program explanation task in the program editing tool
Chunking The program 'chunking structure' follows the main abstractions supported by the programming language
Medium The documented program must be available in an attractive,
on-line representation suitable for exposition in an Internet browser
