ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a programming aid for enabling a computer program in source code form to be viewed using a general purpose document browser, which browser is responsive to a defined set of control tags determining the appearance of a document thereon, the programming aid comprising: a parser for generating a symbol table from an input file in which the program is stored; means to derive control tag locations from the symbol table; and an output file generator for inserting control tags into the program at the derived locations to generate an output file which can be viewed using the general purpose document browser. In this way, the full power of available general purpose document browsers may be used in software development and maintenance to view programs in a convenient way. A tool is provided that automatically marks up a program with control tags so that users are free to use the document browser of their choice as a powerful program browser.
