This programming environment aims toincrease productivity in large software construction projects. Literate programming inXML is good for productivity as it makes source code readable provides an overview andhelps keep documentation consistent with the source code.BackgroundNew technologies and standards have recently emerged that allow the creation of aninnovative programming environment. A programming environment where the primaryfocus is not on producing code in a particular programming language but on the structureand logic of the program. Accordingly I advance a new approach to programdevelopment combining the link technology popularized by HTML and the hierarchicalstructure of XML with the most important aspects of Donald E. Knuth's literateprogramming.In this paper I describe a literate programming system that enables the programmer towork directly with documentation and pseudo code. The system consists of an XMLeditor with a programming environment that supports literate programming.The key feature of the system is that the program is readable on the screen. It differstherefore from those literate programming systems that focus on transforming somethingthat is totally unreadable on the screen into a readable printed format. Such an approachdoes not help the programmer and it is a criticism of current literate programming systemsthat they only confer longterm advantages and are not applicable to projects that operatein short time frames CL]. A literate programming system should help the programmer toprogram.Page 22 (19)The system presented here has more in common with a ...
