[31] How am I supposed to abbreviate ``Literate Programming''?

[Later, this item might move to the general FAQ by David B. Thompson.]

There wasn't a clean vote on the mailing list. Most people seemed to agree that one should not misuse common abbreviations like LP, LPR etc. Also, the acronym should be pronounceable (thus eliminating LitPgm e.g.). The list's name LitProg, proposed by Cameron Smith, seems to be accepted by a majority now. This is also the acronym adopted for the FAQ list.
