The computer science literature discusses code and algorithms extensively, but not always reliably. Tool support can help ensure integrity between code and explanation so that published papers are more reliable. A versatile, lightweight tool to support explaining code for publication is justified, described and compared with alternatives. The tool works with Java, C and similar languages, and provides support for publishing explanations of real code in LATEX, XML, HTML, etc. Copyright © 2003 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
