Literate Programming languages
There are a small number of projects which are not coded in a 'standard' programming language, but rather using Literate Programming methods. One such program is MetaPost, which was coded mostly in WEB (literate programming for Pascal) in its old standalone form and is now being developed in CWEB (literate programming for C/C++) in its new library form.
The ohloh analyzer detects the project as being 'mostly shell scripts', plus some C++ and some TeX/LaTeX. Distinctly missing are Pascal (via WEB) and MetaPost itself (*.mp files). Any chance these might be added?
Hi Guiseppe,
Lately, we are relying on the community to add new languages to our parser.
The parser bug tracker and source code can be found at labs.ohloh.net. Feel free to open some new bug tickets for these features, and if you are feeling motivated you can take a whack at adding them :-)
Ah, good, I'll what I can do. Adding MetaPost and MetaFont should be rather easy, but I'm not sure about how to handle WEB and CWEB files: should I consider them as their respective language (Pascal and C/C++) or should I define a new 'language' for them?
Or maybe I'll open a ticket and we can discuss this over there, since it's becoming a development matter?
