The Document Package: A Simplified Approach to Literate Programming

• Eliminate ``tangle'' step - files are compilable source
• Documentation is included in comments
• Small set of commands to direct output
• Formatting language independent
• Source code language independent (almost -- just need to know comment characters)
• Implementation via a perl script: Document
• Document (1000 lines of documented source) is much smaller than WEB (10,000 lines)
• Source and documentation for the Document Package are available online
