This is not a slime question, but it is about emacs & common lisp.
I use slime + clisp and sbcl for my work. I use REPL as an environement for interactive data analysis. I need to produce an annotated log of the analysis.
I am looking for a workbook type of file mode, in which I would enter into a file:
- text (with markup rules such as in muse-mode or org-mode)
- valid CL code
At the end of the day I could `publish' the file (as an html, pdf, latex) document which would contain
- the text
- The CL code (formatted appropriately)
- Results of executing the CL code.
Some of my commands produce graphics via gnuplot, and there should be conventions+intelligence to dump these into a png format and insert into the published file.
Right now, I am doing it very crudely by
- creating a .lisp file
- Writing text in #| |# blocks in emacs' muse mode.
- CL stuff in rest of the buffer
- Executing C-u C-c C-x to paste CL results into the buffer
- modifying things a bit by hand
- and leaving it at that.
Are there any packages that can help me accomplish this?
Thanks,
Mirko
