- Does anybody have a version of WEB that can handle describing a
- program that is written in multiple languages?
-
- I'd like to give "literate programming" a try, but the project I want
- to try it out on is written partly in C and partly in PostScript, and
- I think the new version (I'm rewriting it at least in part because
- it's grown so complex that I can't maintain it or add features) may
- include some Perl and perhaps an ad-hoc configuration file. I'd like
- to specify all of this in a single place, in expository order.
-
- I brought over Spider WEB, but while it can be made to handle any of
- these languages, it looks like it can only handle a single language at
- a time.
-
- Does what I'm looking for exist?
-
- E-mail responses appreciated.
-
- Thank you,
