+Literate programs have chunks of code, like this one:
+
+@chunk[<f>
+       (define (f x)
+         <fs-body>)]
+
+and this one:
+
+@chunk[<fs-body>
+       (* x x)]
+
+that, when assembled, produce a complete program, in this case:
+
+@schemeblock[(define (f x)
+               (* x x))]

+#lang scribble/doc
+@(require scribble/manual scheme/runtime-path scribble/lp-include)
+
+@title[#:tag "lp"]{Literate Programming}
+
+Programs written using @schememodname[scribble/lp] are simultaneously
+two things: a program, and a document describing the program. 
+
+Programs in @schememodname[scribble/lp] are viewed in two different
+ways, either by running the program directly, or by including it with
+@scheme[include-lp].  When running the program, all of the
+@scheme[chunk] expressions are collected and stitched together into a
+program and the rest of the module is discarded. When using
+@scheme[include-lp], the entire contents of the module are preserved
+and are treated like an ordinary Scribble document, where
+@scheme[chunk]s are typeset in a manner similar to @scheme[codeblock].
+
+@(define-runtime-path lp-ex "lp-ex.ss")
+
+For example, consider this program:
+@(call-with-input-file lp-ex
+   (lambda (port)
+     (verbatim
+      (apply 
+       string-append
+       (let loop ()
+	 (let ([line (read-line port 'any)])
+	   (cond
+	    [(eof-object? line) '()]
+            [(equal? line "") (cons "  \n" (loop))]
+            [else 
+	       (list* line "\n" (loop))])))))))
+
+When this file is @scheme[require]d in the normal manner, it defines a
+function @scheme[f] that squares its argument, and the documentation
+is ignored. When it is included with @scheme[lp-include], it looks
+like this:
+
+@lp-include["lp-ex.ss"]
+
+@section{@schememodname[scribble/lp] language}
+
+@defmodulelang[scribble/lp]{This is a Scribble's core support for Literate Programming.}
+
+@defform[(chunk <id> expressions ...)]{
+  Introduces a chunk, binding @scheme[<id>] for use in other chunks.
+
+  If @scheme[<id>] is @tt{<*>}, then this chunk is used as the main
+  chunk in the file. If @tt{<*>} is never used, then the first chunk
+  in the file is treated as the main chunk.
+}
+
+@section{@schememodname[scribble/lp-include] module}
+
+@defmodule[scribble/lp-include]{}
+
+@defform[(lp-include filename)]{
+Includes the source of @scheme[filename] as the typeset version of the literate
+program.
