Litrepl: Literate Paper Processor Promoting Transparency More Than Reproducibility

Litrepl is a lightweight text processing tool designed to recognize and evaluate code sections within Markdown or Latex documents. This functionality is useful for both batch document section evaluation and interactive coding within a text editor, provided a straightforward integration is established. Inspired by Project Jupyter, Litrepl aims to facilitate the creation of research documents. In the light of recent developments in software deployment, however, we have shifted our focus from informal reproducibility to enhancing transparency in communication with programming language interpreters, by either eliminating or clearly exposing mutable states within the communication process.
