NAME

   weave - translate WEB to TeX

SYNOPSIS

   weave [-x] webfile[.web] [changefile[.ch]]

DESCRIPTION

   This  manual  page  is  not  meant  to  be  exhaustive.   The  complete
   documentation for this version of TeX can be found in the info file  or
   manual Web2C: A TeX implementation.

   The  weave  program  is  used  to  create  a TeX file for viewing a Web
   program.  It takes appropriate care of typographic  details  like  page
   layout  and  the  use  of  indentation, italics, boldface, etc., and it
   supplies   extensive   cross-index   information   that   it    gathers
   automatically.   The  command line arguments are the same as for tangle
   except for the option: -x says to omit the index, module name list, and
   table  of  contents  pages.  (A CONTENTS.tex file will still be written
   when the  TeX  file  is  processed,  however,  unless  some  macros  in
   webmac.tex are redefined.)

   The  output  TeX  file name is formed by adding .tex to the root of the
   Web file name.

   There are several macros that  probably  should  be  redefined  by  the
   programmer  at the beginning of the Web file.  It is a good idea to set
   \title to the name of the  program.   And,  to  cause  output  of  only
   changed  modules, one can say \let\maybe=\iffalse (usually as the first
   change in the change file).

ENVIRONMENT

   The environment variable WEBINPUTS is used  to  search  for  the  input
   files,  or  the system default if WEBINPUTS is not set.  See tex(1) for
   the details of the searching.

FILES

   $TEXMFMAIN/tex/plain/base/webmac.tex
       TeX macros used by weave output.
