Weave is a scientific report generator/literate programming tool
for Julia. It resembles [Pweave](http://mpastell.com/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:
```julia
using Pkg
Pkg.add("Weave")
```
## Usage
Run from julia using Plots.jl for plots:
```julia
#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.
```julia
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](https://atom.io/packages/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.
