Thank you for your answer. I am sorry that you don't continue to work on
"the literate programming stuff". Seems that if I want to use it, I will
have to work for it.
Coud you give me a hint how to evaluate threads of chunks (I suppose you
intend threads of code-chunks with documentation-chunks in between) or
where to find documentation about it?
