Lynn,

Even though I snipped out a lot of your post for this reply, I liked all that you said.

Your idea sounds very close to what I once understood literate programming to be (before you set me
straight). I really like the idea of encapsulating code and its explanatory text in one document then
having a tool that distills the code out to create a runable program.

Kindly provide us with a snipet of the .html that you envision.
