The lines in the example above would be filtered out in the preprocessing step, unless we are generating a markdown file. When generating a markdown file we would simple remove the leading #md from the lines. Beware that the space after the tag is also removed.

The #src token can also be placed at the end of a line. This is to make it possible to have code lines exclusive to the source code, and not just comment lines. For example, if the source file is included in the test suite we might want to add a @test at the end without this showing up in the outputs:

using Test                      #src

Custom processing

It is possible to give Literate custom pre- and post-processing functions. For example, here we insert two placeholders, which we will replace with something else at time of generation. We have here replaced our placeholders with z and 1.0 + 2.0im:

z = 1.0 + 2.0im
1.0 + 2.0im

Documenter.jl interaction

In the source file it is possible to use Documenter.jl style references, such as @ref and @id. These will be filtered out in the notebook output. For example, here is a link, but it is only visible as a link if you are reading the markdown output. We can also use equations:

\[\int_\Omega \nabla v \cdot \nabla u\ \mathrm{d}\Omega = \int_\Omega v f\ \mathrm{d}\Omega\]

using Documenters math syntax. Documenters syntax is automatically changed to \begin{equation} ... \end{equation} in the notebook output to display correctly.

1. Introduction

Welcome to the documentation for Literate – a simplistic package for Literate Programming.

What?

Literate is a package that generates markdown pages (for e.g. Documenter.jl), and Jupyter notebooks, from the same source file. There is also an option to "clean" the source from all metadata, and produce a pure Julia script.

The main design goal is simplicity. It should be simple to use, and the syntax should be simple. In short, all you have to do is to write a commented julia script!

The public interface consists mainly of three functions, all of which take the same script file as input, but generate different output:

Why?

Examples are (probably) the best way to showcase your awesome package, and examples are often the best way for a new user to learn how to use it. It is therefore important that the documentation of your package contains examples for users to read and study. However, people are different, and we all prefer different ways of trying out a new package. Some people wants to RTFM, others want to explore the package interactively in, for example, a notebook, and some people wants to study the source code. The aim of Literate is to make it easy to give the user all of these options, while still keeping maintenance to a minimum.

It is quite common that packages have "example notebooks" to showcase the package. Notebooks are great for showcasing a package, but they are not so great with version control, like git. The reason being that a notebook is a very "rich" format since it contains output and other metadata. Changes to the notebook thus result in large diffs, which makes it harder to review the actual changes.

It is also common that packages include examples in the documentation, for example by using Documenter.jl @example-blocks. This is also great, but it is not quite as interactive as a notebook, for the users who prefer that.

Literate tries to solve the problems above by creating the output as a part of the doc build. Literate generates the output based on a single source file which makes it easier to maintain, test, and keep the manual and your example notebooks in sync.

Chunk #3:

When adding `x` and `y` together we obtain a new rational number:

Chunk #4:

z = x + y

It is then up to the Document generation step to decide how these chunks should be treated.

Custom control over chunk splits

Sometimes it is convenient to be able to manually control how the chunks are split. For example, if you want to split a block of code into two, such that they end up in two different @example blocks or notebook cells. The #- token can be used for this purpose. All lines starting with #- are used as "chunk-splitters":

x = 1 // 3
 y = 2 // 5
 #-
-z = x + y

The example above would result in two consecutive code-chunks.

Tip

The rest of the line, after #-, is discarded, so it is possible to use e.g. #------------- as a chunk splitter, which may make the source code more readable.

It is also possible to use #+ as a chunk splitter. The difference between #+ and #- is that #+ enables Documenter's "continued"-blocks, see the Documenter manual.

3.3. Document generation

After the parsing it is time to generate the output. What is done in this step is very different depending on the output target, and it is describe in more detail in the Output format sections: Markdown Output, Notebook Output and Script Output. Using the default settings, the following is happening:

3.4. Post-processing

When the document is generated the user, again, has the option to hook-into the generation with a custom post-processing function. The reason is that one might want to change things that are only visible in the rendered document. See Custom pre- and post-processing.

3.5. Writing to file

The last step of the generation is writing to file. The result is written to $(outputdir)/$(name)(.md|.ipynb|.jl) where outputdir is the output directory supplied by the user (for example docs/generated), and name is a user supplied filename. It is recommended to add the output directory to .gitignore since the idea is that the generated documents will be generated as part of the build process rather than beeing files in the repo.
