Code Control Protocol is planned to be platform independent as well as free and open source, with SDK's available for easy integration in to an IDE or server.

An example of CCP would be,

// <CCP>

#include <iostream>

int main()

   std::cout << "Hello, world!\n";

}

CCP works by reading the file extension of a file to determine the language used for comments and referencing, it would then store mark up language in the code's comments sections, which could then be used for version control, revision etc.

For example CCP would read mark up written in PERL syntax starting with a "#" hash,

# <CCP>

An example of CCP mark up written in Visual Basic syntax would be,

' <CCP>

Note "<some_markup="value" />" is not a valid tag, using it may result in warnings.

CCP can also make documents in both mark-up language and encoded by reading special tags located in the comments sections of a source file, for example,

// <CCP>

The above code will output a file called readme.html, any text under the <addline> tag will automatically be added to the output file until the tag is closed, with the </addline> tag, because the ignore="comments" attribute was specified any use of the double forward slash "//" or multiline "/**/" comments will be ignored, to include code in the document, you would use the include code tag, for example.

// <includecode>

printf("foobar!!!!\n");

// </includecode>

Both the <addline> tag and the <includecode> tag are used under the <document> tag, the <document> tag defines the actual document to be written until the tag is closed, with the </document> tag. This allows the user to create multiple documents under a single source file of code.

Additionally macros can be added to automatically update values such as version numbering and release notes.
