0.9.1.13. A `lit2lit' program (to help implement a Para system)
[This might be a better way to implement a literate Para ...] Have a
program that takes a set of `.lit' files, munges them to do all the
usual cross-referencing, etc., etc., and then writes out versions
of the original files with all the linking info, etc., etc., inserted
as comments. Call the program `lit2lit'...
If you took the `lit2lit' output and re-ran it through one of the
other programs, e.g., `lit2latex', it would produce exactly
the same output.
The purpose of the information stored in comments would be to provide an
Emacs mode (or something) enough information to help you jump around
in a large program or generally do useful stuff.
For example, it might insert links and things for something like Bob
Weiner's Hyperbole system.
I'm thinking that `lit2lit' would be re-run over a system's sources
every night by `cron(1)'.
