VC-based solution for including code samples #17

Closed v-nys closed 7 years ago

v-nys commented 7 years ago

Including lots of code samples gets a little messy. Could experiment with a solution that leverages version control: keep a version history of the code base being developed, include code from a specific tag at specific line numbers.

Potential advantages:

always a full source code listing available
file names match those used in real code

Potential disadvantages:

need to supply tags and line numbers

There are too many exceptions. Will just stick to explicit samples.
