As a programmer, you can work comfortably, completely inside an org-mode buffer. When you are ready, emacs will generate the appropriate documentation and source code files for you. If you are a lone emacs user on your project, simply commit these exported files and keep your org file to yourself – no one is the wiser. Watch "Literate Programming in Emacs Org-mode" to learn how you can annotate code snippets in an org file so they can be automatically exported to their proper locations in your source tree. Keep important information about your project where it should be: right next to the code itself. Not as ugly, out-of-date notes sitting behind comment characters in your source files, but front and center in well-formatted markdown and pdf files. And, for advanced use cases, see how you can even use a full-fledged macro processor like m4 to personalize your workflow even more. Literate programming on steroids! I'll walk you through the whole process, starting from an empty project README.org to a simple example that generates source and documentation.
