I came across this blog post yesterday, and it once again made me want to give literate programming a try.

Has anyone else tried doing literate programming for C#? I'm wondering about trying Lyx + noweb, but wondered if you might have other experience or suggestions.

A: 

Their are a couple of simple examples of literate C# programs on literateprograms.org

Interesting, it looks like the wiki itself can be used for literate programming. Not sure I've got anything I want to share with the general public, but it could be good for trying.

+2  A: 

Get Leo, the outlining editor, and make noweb files. Noweb can make HTML that can be your online documentation and it can make source files that are numbered like your noweb input. You can edit the noweb or the source. If you edit the source, Leo can update your changes back into the noweb file. Noweb can also make TEX files for really pretty printing.

Noweb is so simple its users guide fits on one side of one sheet of paper. Leo is one of those GUI tools you already know how to use ... has lotsa tricks if you want them.

Both are free!
