(This man page is obsolete and is no longer maintained; please see
`info fweb' for up-to-date and detailed tree-structured information.)
FWEB is an extension of Knuth's WEB system to handle
the languages C, C++, Fortran (both Fortran-77 and Fortran-90), Ratfor, and
TeX. The philosophy of WEB and all details about using FWEB may be
found in the user manual fweb.tex, available on-line as the
texinfo (GNU hypertext system) entry `info FWEB'. See also
http://w3.pppl.gov/~krommes/fweb_toc.html.
An initialization file named .fweb (Unix sytems) or
fweb.ini (personal computers) may be placed in your home directory.
(For Unix systems, that is the value of $HOME. The name can be
overridden by the environment variable FWEB_INI.) In this file can be
placed any option that is allowed on the command line (one option per line).
If the option begins with a hyphen, it is processed before the command line;
if it begins with an ampersand, it is processed after the command line
(rarely necessary); if it begins with neither, it is interpreted as a file
name and processed after the command line.
A style file patterned after the utility makeindex
and named fweb.sty may be placed in your current directory. (The
directory can be overridden by the environment variable
FWEB_STYLE_DIR.) This file is used to customize the appearance of the
index and many other parameters controlling the operation of the processors.
See the documentation for detailed discussion.
The following list just provides a very brief summary of the
command-line options. Please refer to the texinfo entry for more
details.
FWEB Options
- filename
- The first file name identifies the FWEB source file. (If the name
does not contain a period, the extension .web is added
automatically.) If a second file name is present, it identifies the change
file. (If that name does not contain a period, the extension .ch is
added automatically.) For an alternative approach to processing
extensions, see the -e option.

Please send bug reports and suggestions to
krommes@princeton.edu. FWEB is a spare-time activity, so response may
be slow and messages may not be acknowledged individually. However, your
input is very useful and much appreciated.
FWEB was written by John A. Krommes, Princeton University.
It is a substantial revision and update (more than 50% new) of version 0.5
of Silvio Levy's CWEB, which in turn was based on Donald Knuth's
original Pascal WEB. The latter was designed for documenting and
maintaining TeX.
