Hi all, I am writing a package for LuaLaTeX and have decided to use Org for it. The reasons: org is more powerful, more versatile and more cool than the 'official' LaTeX literate programming utility, docstrip.
Searching for information on this list I found this post from Marcin Borkowski, from 2013, where he comments on very interesting things regarding these topic: https://list.orgmode.org/20130311230246.4c629e36@aga-netbook/ Out of curiosity, I wonder if Marcin or someone else finally got around to implementing something concrete for this. I think some kind of extension to org-babel-tangle that would generate the typical docstrip .dtx and .ins files might be nice. Perhaps this would open up the use of Org to LaTeX package developers, though admittedly docstrip is deeply rooted in planet LaTeX and hardly anything else is used. When I release my package I'll write a makefile, in the style of the wallcalendar package, which is also written in Org: https://github.com/profound-labs/wallcalendar/blob/master/Makefile BTW, Wallcalendar is the only LaTeX package I know of (besides mine, still work in progress) that is written in Org and not in docstrip. I don't know if there are any more... Best regards, Juan Manuel
