    This concept sounds quite a bit like the usage of .mdx files in OCaml. Those are markdown files which can load and execute OCaml code in them.

    They are useful for unit testing code like libraries, providing usage examples for end-users (as well as the text format markdown usually supports) and testing it at the same time. Definitely a great idea for documentation, and one which I should use more of.

    That sounds about right. The approach I'm working on won't allow you to embed runnable code in your docs. Instead, it requires you to write your documentation in Kotlin e.g. using a Markdown DSL where source code from the codebase can be included in the output. I'm working on a separate project to programmatically generate file trees and Docusaurus doc sites in code.

    I'm not aware of anything exactly like Livebook in the Kotlin ecosystem but you might be interested in kotlinx-knit which takers a more incremental approach to executable documentation:
