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.
