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.
