WEAVE(1)                    General Commands Manual                   WEAVE(1)

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.
