Lit.js

Lit is a micro-literate programming library for Javascript inspired by docco. Lit was created for the Apres project but is released separately for easy integration with any project wanting to display annotated Javascript code. Lit features:

• Table-free, simple, and readable html structure.
• Multiple css styles.
• Pluggable comment and code parsers.
• MIT License.

Installation

To use Lit on the command-line, use npm install lit, use the global option to be able to run it anywhere.
