NAME
     weave - translate WEB to TeX

SYNOPSIS
     weave [-p] [-x] webfile[.web] [{changefile[.ch]|-} [outfile[.tex]]]

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 options: -p says to use
     alternative macros more suited for PDF output.  -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 or from the third argument.  In this case you can specify '-'  as
     an empty change file.

     There  are several macros that probably should be redefined by the program-
     mer 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/knuth-lib/webmac.tex
	 TeX macros used by weave output.

     $TEXMFMAIN/tex/plain/pwebmac/pwebmac.tex
	 alternative TeX macros used for PDF output.
