Again, I'm having a hard time understanding what the issue is. It seems like you are deeply confused about what literate programming is and how it works. Have you read the original paper here in full: http://www.literateprogramming.com/knuthweb.pdf http://www.literateprogramming.com/knuthweb.pdf ? All of the navigation issues are taken care of by using <<chunks of code>> in a nested structure. You follow the numbers in those, like a follow your own adventure game, to find out whatever you need. The index has a listing of everything used in the program along with where it was defined and where it was used in case you want to find something specific. More modern tools, like NoWeb, turn all of this into hyperlinks so you can jump around the pretty printed version without having to loop up page numbers.
