Weave
Weave is a scientific report generator/literate programming tool for Julia. It resembles Pweave, Knitr, rmarkdown and Sweave.
You can write your documentation and code in input document using Noweb,
Markdown, Script syntax and use weave
function to execute to document to capture results
and figures.
Current features
- Noweb, markdown or script syntax for input documents.
- Execute code as terminal or "script" chunks.
- Capture Plots.jl figures (or Gadfly and PyPlot on julia 0.6).
- Supports LaTex, Pandoc, Github markdown, MultiMarkdown, Asciidoc and reStructuredText output
- Publish markdown directly to html and pdf using Julia or Pandoc markdown.
- Simple caching of results
- Convert to and from IJulia notebooks

Installation
You can install the latest release using Julia package manager:
using Pkg
Pkg.add("Weave")
Usage
Run from julia using Plots.jl for plots:
#First add depencies for the example
using Pkg; Pkg.add.(["Plots", "DSP"])
#Use Weave
using Weave
weave(joinpath(dirname(pathof(Weave)), "../examples", "FIR_design.jmd"), out_path=:pwd)
If you have LaTeX installed you can also weave directly to pdf.
weave(joinpath(dirname(pathof(Weave)), "../examples", "FIR_design.jmd"),
out_path=:pwd, doctype="md2pdf")
Documentation
Documenter.jl with MKDocs generated documentation:
Editor support
I have made language-weave package for Atom to do the syntax highlighting correctly.
Contributing
I will probably add new features to Weave when I need them myself or if they are requested and not too difficult to implement. You can contribute by opening issues on Github or implementing things yourself and making a pull request. I'd also appreciate example documents written using Weave to add to examples.
