-            <p><term>CodeLens</term> is an interactive version of a computer program, which can be visualized by stepping through the code one statement at a time, watching output, variables, and other data structures change.  So it is similar to a debugger, except the reader does not set breakpoints or modify program data on-the-fly.  This is possible automatically for several different languages when your <init>HTML</init> is hosted on a Runestone server (<xref ref="runestone"/>).  This may also be accomplished <q>in browser</q> when hosted on any old generic web server.  The catch is that for a generic server a publisher must generate <term>trace data</term> in advance, typically with the PreTeXt-CLI (<xref ref="processing-CLI"/>).  Place the <tag>interactive</tag> attribute on a <tag>program</tag> element with the value <c>codelens</c> to elect this behavior (<c>no</c> is the default value).  Also, be sure to specify a language from the supported languages: Python, Java, C, and C++.  Consult <xref ref="table-program-interactive"/> below for a summary of various combinations.  When an output format does not support an interactive CodeLens instance, the fallback is a static program listing. The <tag>program</tag> should have an <attr>xml:id</attr> that will be used as a unique identifier for the generated trace file needed by the codelens.</p>

             <p>Sometimes, there is uninteresting setup to get through before the portion of the program the author wants to illustrate. The author can use <attr>starting-step</attr> to specify the instruction number that the interactive should start at. Code before that will be fast-forwarded through and execution will begin at the indicted step. Note that <attr>starting-step</attr> is a <q>Step</q> number in the execution sequence, not a line number in the source code. You may have to run the Codelens once to find the right step to start at.</p>

             <p><term>ActiveCode</term> is an interactive environment where a reader may work on code through repeated edit-compile-test cycles.  Code can be provided by an author as a complete program to be modified, a partial program to be completed, or nothing at all.  One good example is that maybe header files, import statement, and similar are provided, and a skeleton of a main entry-point procedure is also provided.  Then a reader can concentrate on the more conceptual parts of the programming.  Some languages will be executable <q>in browser</q> on any old generic web server, while others must be on a Runestone server (<xref ref="runestone"/>) where a <url href="https://github.com/trampgeek/jobe" visual="github.com/trampgeek/jobe">Jobe Server</url> is running to support the execution.</p>

The static listing is possibly supplemented with a link and QR code to access an HTML version. To get these links, you must specify a base <init>URL</init> (see <xref ref="online-baseurl"/>). If you have a base <init>URL</init> and want to disable the QR codes, you can set the <attr>static-qrcodes</attr> attribute to no <c>"no"</c> in the publisher variable <c>common/program</c>.</p>
