    Maple does that well, but it's expensive for a permanent license. They
    offer an evaluation license.

    I wrote a simple processor that looks for comments that begin !{ in my
    Fortran codes and writes a LaTeX file, which I then process into PDF.
    Lets me see gorgeously LaTeX typeset math beside my code.

    Despite not completely understanding the need, I suggest https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Jupyter#Jupyter_Notebook

    I looked at that link and https://jupyter.org/ . I don't know if it
    meets the OP's needs but I may find it useful. Will read more fully
    after a good night's sleep.

    Is there a relevant traditional mailing list or USENET group?
    [ I *avoid* social networks, WEB based forums, Google groups, etc ]

    There's a wikipedia article https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_open-source_software_for_mathematics
    that might provide some possibilities.

    Emacs org mode can handle mixed code / documentation
