Literate Programming Examples from my Website

I have become rather interested in literate programming, which I find a very interesting and elegant approach. Literate programming was first proposed by Donald Knuth and it is supported very well by Emacs: consult the Org Mode manual for more information.

This page contains the list of pages of this website which use literate programming.

Pages using Ruby snippets:

• Bookstream, which uses Ruby to parse a YAML file and produce a list of the books I read.
• Publications, which presents the list of my publications, as read from a YAML file.
• Site Atom, which generates the Atom feed of this website, using an ERB template and Ruby code.
• Sitemap, which generates the XML sitemap, using ERB and Ruby code.
• List of notes, which uses Ruby to generate the list of notes on my website, organized by category.
• List in chronological order, which uses Ruby to generate a list of notes on my website, in chronological order

Pages using Gnuplot, R, datamash and Ruby to pre-process data:

• Book Statistics, which collects some statistics about my book reading habits. It uses Ruby, Gnuplot, and datamash.
• Some data and plots about COVID in Italy, which uses R to plot some data about COVID-19 pandemic in Italy.
• Plotting histograms with Gnuplot which is a tutorial showing how to plot histograms with Gnuplot.
