Ask HN: Literate Programming Tool Recommendation
My goal is to create a pen and paper RPG, kinda like D&D, but simpler. I'd like to develop a Python module along with it which allows me to test and balance the mechanics of the game -- maybe even use it during play sessions to keep track of data. I want to try the literate programming approach here, writing down the rules of the game along with creating the module.
While I'll be using Python as programming language, I'd rather avoid anything notebook related. I just don't like the concept of notebooks and would rather create a typical module, that can also be viewed/rendered as HTML. Would be great if the tool is language agnostic though.
Markdown, AsciiDoc, or reStructuredText are okay. I know org-mode is a common recommendation, but I am not an Emacs guy and org-mode support isn't that great in other editors.
Typesetting equations using LaTeX syntax is a bonus, but certainly not required. LaTeX as output format is not required at all.
