HyperPerl is a variant of WikiWikiWeb inspired by DonKnuth's LiterateProgramming. It is supported by two programs, both offered as cgi script...

  • wiki base -- browse & edit the hypertext source
  • hp -- extract a straight program by traversing the source

The extractor defines the rules of hyper perl. Right now it simply grabs preformatted text. [How is a Here file represented?] Links found in that text refer to nodes that should be processed in advance of the current node since they probably refer to ...

  • header comments
  • constant definitions
