Literate programming tools then +parse the file to produce either readable documentation or compilable +source. The WEB style of literate programming was created by +D. E. Knuth during the development of TeX. +<p/> + The “<a href="FAQ-dtx.html">documented LaTeX</a>” style of programming +is regarded by some as a form of literate programming, though it only +contains a subset of the constructs Knuth used. +<p/>Discussion of literate programming is conducted in the newsgroup +<i>comp.programming.literate</i>, whose FAQ is stored on +CTAN.
