Is there an editor for a DTX file?
DTX files are based on LaTeX comments, which means that any editor that can highlight LaTeX code will print most of the DTX files – all the documentation – as a comment and thus not highlight the code. I found that Emacs can handle that problem, however I rather do not want to learn how to use Emacs just because of that.
How is the docstrip utility used in TeX LaTeX?
All of the core LaTeX distribution and many contributed packages are distributed in documented form with the actual package being generated by running TeX on a file which uses the docstrip macros to generate the final package. Thanks for contributing an answer to TeX – LaTeX Stack Exchange!
Where can I get a copy of the docstrip utility?
You can probably go texdoc docstrip to get the documentation for it or there is a copy here http://www.tug.org/texlive/Contents/live/texmf-dist/doc/latex/base/docstrip.pdf
