Elucidative Programming 

 

Elucidative programming is meant to remedy some of the identified problems with literate programming

 

• Elucidative programming highlights:
  • User interface
    • Present the program and the documentation side-by-side in an Internet browser

  • Leave the program "in peace"
    • Does not impose any requirement on the organization of the program in files or directories

  • Address existing abstractions from the documentation
    • Does not rely on separately named program fragments

  • Supported by the development environment
    • Requires specialized editor functionality
