This is a test project where you can explore how github interprets Org-mode files
HTML/CSS, with KaTeX loaded to render mathematics using the same notation as (La)TeX.

This is the most exciting feature of Sile to me -- since I currently rely on a slow and memory hungry Java toolchain to convert docbook to pdf with fop -- but I just tried it on two docbook documents (a book and also a short article) and it failed to convert both. Apparently the docbook support is currently very incomplete:

https://github.com/gfngfn/SATySFi
SATySFi (pronounced in the same way as the verb “satisfy” in English) is a new typesetting system equipped with a statically-typed, functional programming language. It consists mainly of two “layers” ― the text layer and the program layer. The former is for writing documents in LaTeX-like syntax. The latter, which has OCaml-like syntax, is for defining functions and commands. SATySFi enables you to write documents markuped with flexible commands of your own making. In addition, its informative type error reporting will be a good help to your writing.
The main problem is that a lot of the documentation is in japanese.
The literate macro is just standard latex. The command line extraction functions are:
Lisp program to extract latex chunks: https://github.com/daly/axiom/blob/master/books/tangle.lisp
C program to extract latex chunks: https://github.com/daly/axiom/blob/master/books/tanglec.c
Note that the C program is just a hand translation of the Lisp code.
The lisp code has an explanation and the necessary latex macros. The idea is to scan the latex, find each named code 'chunk', and add each one to a hash table. Then the hash table is scanned to dump the requested chunk to stdout. For example:
\begin{chunk}{part1}
You may be interested in using Org [1], in conjunction with literate-lisp [2] (for Common Lisp) and literate-elisp [3] (for Emacs Lisp). Org provides various outlining commands (among other things), letting you view your program at different levels of granularity. literate-lisp/elisp advise the Lisp reader so the Org file can be loaded and/or compiled directly, without requiring tangling. Consequently, tools like xref will jump to the source block in your Org file, rather than the tangled source. I wrote a little hack/guide to extend this to errors raised in Emacs' compilation-mode. [4]
(Unfortunately, the package that lets each Org source block behave as though it was using the corresponding language's Emacs major mode - poly-org-mode - has a ton of bugs. It was part of why I stopped using literate programming entirely for later projects.)
