It would probably be pretty trivial to change itto allow markdown.In fact, I bet you that a hundred lines of Lua will do the whole job nicely - pretty-printing can be done as an afterthought, using some styling and client Javascript. One of those satisfying rainy-afternoon jobs.
The weather's actually starting to improve down here (though I'm sure nothing like SA), but nonetheless you can get a rough cut of doctest.lua from http://www.incremental.co.nz/projects/lua.html (BTW, how's the snippet site coming on?).
doctest.lua reads a markdown file and tries to execute any code snippets it finds, reporting errors and matching output. It's not great, it's sufficient.
I haven't started on the opposite tool, that reads a Lua file with markdown in the comments, turns it into a markdown file with Lua in code blocks and checks that the Lua output matches specially marked up output.
I haven't tried syntax-coloring either. There must be something that does that, right? Or is the attraction of pure Lua enough to make it worth building that wheel?
