interesting answer because mentions noweb. I get your point, but should mention the OP mentioned that after 1 week, he's adding a meta author tag ( and not a meta keyword tag)

@joshsverns - I updated answer to show how adding other meta tags like author might be done. This is just a simple contrived example. The new code block could just as easily been erb code with the table values appended to a ruby data file. The point of literate programming is to write our program in a way that helps maximize human understanding and improve design while minimizing the tedious boiler plate aspects of coding. I've also found literate programming to very useful in tracking and updating other stuff that is coupled to the code such as data files, configurations, diagrams, etc...
