The RWEB literate programming tool for Ruby has been updated to version  
0.2.0. Support for XHTML-based literate documents intead of plaintext  
alone has been added, as has transparent syntax highlighting if the  
required library (syntax) is available. (If not, it just formats code  
nicely without syntax highlighting.)

Version 0.2.0 is still very much beta quality, but fully usable  
including the (to my knowledge) unique ability to directly execute  
literate code without manually tangling. Future releases will include  
external plug-in capabilities (for inserting your favourite document  
processing system), selectable syntax highlighting, selectable XHTML  
modes (standalone vs. blog, for example) and a few other minor  
enhancements (including an external plug-in for Markdown/BlueCloth  
formatting).

[http://rubylit.rubyforg.org](http://rubylit.rubyforg.org) being the home page (currently just the RDOC  
documentation).
