Hello Michael and David,

I had never heard of Literate Programming. Thanks for the tip.

I have a few of your requests implemented. I've attached noweb.ts. It's a 
minimal style sheet for noweb documents. It contains two macros:

1. \noweb-fragment
2. \noweb-ref

The first wraps \cpp-fragment but inserts:
<<_>>=

@
into the box. The _ is where the cursor ends up. As you type an identifier 
between <<>> a \label is automatically created. You can go back and change 
the identifier and the label will change too. The <<, >>, =, and @ characters 
are read-only. 

The second just inserts <<_>>. Again, the _ is where the cursor ends up. This 
automatically creates an \hlink as well. But, as you figured out, you can not 
type markup in the fragment (at least I don't think you can). So, I created a 
key sequence that calls \noweb-ref.

I've played around with it a little. It seems to work ok. The only downside 
is it only works for C++. There are only a few languages that have 
fragment-type markup. R is not one of them AFAIK. The C++ colorizing is 
actually implemented in C++, not Scheme. Which is probably why you could not 
find the relative code. Here is a link to the code in case you don't have a 
local copy.

http://svn.savannah.gnu.org/viewvc/trunk/src/src/System/Language/?root=texmacs

I put noweb.ts in $HOME/.TeXmacs/styles/.

I added the arbitrary key sequence C-A-l to 
$HOME/.TeXmacs/progs/my-init-texmacs.scm

(kbd-map
 ("C-A-l" (make 'noweb-ref)))
