Make will automate the tangling, so it can work, but in my experience
the main problem is that you compile generated source code, and your
development environment is probably set up to let you edit and fix
errors in those files, not in the original "web" document. So I think
your solution is better. It is essentially the same idea as javadoc
and numerous C++ documentation tools. Somewhere I stumbled over a
system which could be tailored to different programming languages, but
I have forgotten where....
