2. Introduction
Interscript is a component of a new style of
programming environment incorporating the ideas of
literate programming and category theory. Literate
programming was first embodied in significant code by
Donald Knuth in a program called Web, to support
publication of the sources for his TeX typesetting
system.
The fundamental precept of literate programming is that
documentation should not be written after software
development, but be an integral part of it. A literate
programming source is primarily a document in which
source is embedded; the source is extracted by the
literate programming tool by a process called tangling,
while the file is typeset by a process called weaving.
