Elucidative Programming

Elucidative programming is meant to be a variant of literate programming

Elucidative programming remedies some of the identified problems with literate programming

Elucidative programming highlights:
- 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
- User interface
  - Present the program and the documentation side-by-side in an Internet browser
- Supported by the development environment
  - Requires specialized editor functionality
