About lpEdit

lpEdit is a software editor created for biologists and other researchers in order to help document analyses—the aim being to ultimately make analyses more reproducible. From simple statistical tests to complicated pipelines involving many gigabytes of data, this tool offers a unified way to document analyses in a transparent way.

There are many tools available that encompass the ideas of Literate Programming. However, the challenge of getting the majority of researchers to adopt these practices still remains. This editor offers a simple means to mix code and prose in order to produce reports, presentations and webpages.

Here are some screenshots from lpEdit.
