Is what I am doing -- including a source code listing from a separate
file -- so anathema to structured document authoring that years
should go by with the only solutions being (a) a hack and (b) an
external tool? Why was such functionality eschewed from

documentation expert, and I seek to gain a better understanding of
the school of thought that produced these technologies.)
