Currently it can do anything that viewrendered can do, plus the 
enhancements for RsT and MD.  In the future, I hope to have it render for 
any of the languages that @language knows about.  Execution of code blocks 
in these languages is very questionable, and I don't know if I will try to 
execution working for anything but Python.

For this first release, any @language besides RsT, MD, and Python will be 
rendered as plain text (not literal text).

Now, javadocs is something else, if you want to render as anything besides 
plain text.  If a renderer in Python already exists, I'd say that the 
chances are good.  Otherwise, I'm not sure that I want to get into writing 
one myself.  But I might if it wouldn't be too time-consuming.

Maybe pandocs will render javadocs.  If it will, then it should be 
feasible.  The main thing would then be to know how to identify the 
docstring so it could be sent to pandocs.

After VR3 is in good working order, then I could look into that.  The good 
news is that I process MD nodes with a (very) rudimentary state machine, so 
I would think that states could be written for javascript blocks.

It surely is, as long as you are using Leo itself.  One reason VR3 can 
display just the code blocks is so that you could export to a browser, then 
copy the browser window and paste it into a file. That lets you quickly 
work something up in a Leo node or tree, include non-code discussion as RsT 
or MD, and still get the code out. A bit clumsy, and I may improve the 
process later, but I've done it more than once.
