Far from knowing it well, but the basics are, well basic:
Documentation text is started via '@', code chunks are defined via
'<<chunk_name>>=' and a given chunk can be extended by '<<chunk_name>>='
with the same name again, which allows to intermingle documentation and
definition in a linear fashion. Code chunk references are just
'<<chunk_name>>' without the equal sign and can be used non-linearly.
For comparison with Babel the noweb Hackers Guide is probably a good
source since it describes the pipeline representation which is used by
the tools (and should maybe be emulated by the Babel backend).
http://www.cs.tufts.edu/~nr/noweb/guide.html
Notably, noweb assumes a tree (or forest) of code chunks of which the
root nodes are to be tangled.
Babel probably needs to take care of another two layers of complexity
since it goes at least one step further than LP: after the equivalent of
tangling all root chunks (producing the runnable programs) it needs to
produce and integrate back into the documentation their results by
running them and optionally keeping track of session information if they
are not independent.
That still assumes that the final documentation can be arrived at after
running all programs and collecting their results, but the real fun
starts when one of those programs produces another program that also
needs to be run. :-)
Regards,
Achim.
