It's a simple python script of 50 lines for literate programming in any language.
It supports "true" literate programming in a sense that order of your writing is not restricted to order of code (unlike POD or Haskell lhs).
More to say you can output to several files from one literate source.
Syntax is very simple and line oriented.

Example:
Starting macro "foo" by prefixing with "=" =foo Now writing silly sentence into it by prepending line with "-" -The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog Another line -ETAOIN SHRDLU Creating file "bar.txt" by using macro name starting with ">" =>bar.txt This nonsense goes directly into bar.txt -Portez ce vieux whisky au juge blond qui fume And after that we insert some foo >foo Another foo, but now with intendation: > foo Now adding line to foo. It will end up in a bar.txt too, because macros expanded at the end of processing not when they are inserted. =foo -Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet Also put foo once into foo.txt =>foo.txt >foo
Resulting bar.txt
Portez ce vieux whisky au juge blond qui fume
The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog
ETAOIN SHRDLU
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet
The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog
ETAOIN SHRDLU

And foo.txt
The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog ETAOIN SHRDLU Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet
