NAME
tangle - translate WEB to Pascal
SYNOPSIS
tangle webfile[.web] [ changefile[.ch] ]
DESCRIPTION
This manual page is not meant to be exhaustive. The com-
plete documentation for this version of TeX can be found in
the info file or manual Web2C: A TeX implementation.
The tangle program converts a Web source document into a
Pascal program that may be compiled in the usual way with
the on-line Pascal compiler (e.g., pc(1)). The output file
is all in lower case and packed into lines of 72 characters
or less, with the only concession to readability being the
termination of lines at semicolons when this can be done
conveniently.
The Web language allows you to prepare a single document
containing all the information that is needed both to pro-
duce a compilable Pascal program and to produce a well-
formatted document describing the program in as much detail
as the writer may desire. The user of Web must be familiar
with both TeX and Pascal. Web also provides a relatively
simple, although adequate, macro facility that permits a
Pascal program to be written in small easily-understood
modules.
The command line should have either one or two names on it.
The first is taken as the Web file (and .web is added if
there is no extension). If there is another name, it is a
change file (and .ch is added if there is no extension).
The change file overrides parts of the Web file, as
described in the Web system documentation.
The output files are a Pascal file and a string pool file,
whose names are formed by adding .p and .pool respectively
to the root of the Web file name.

AUTHORS
Web was designed by Donald E. Knuth, based on an earlier
system called DOC (implemented by Ignacio Zabala). The tan-
gle and weave programs are themselves written in Web. The
system was originally ported to Unix at Stanford by Howard
Trickey, and at Cornell by Pavel Curtis.
