Short Description:

The CWEB system allows you to write C programs and their documentation at
the same time, in a way that optimises human readability. Like other WEB
systems, CWEB allows you to decompose your programs into small, logically
related portions, to add any desired amount of documentation to each of them,
and to present them in any order that help understanding. As TeX is used to
obtain the printed source document, a high typographic quality can be obtained
while allowing for formatting of complicated formulae and tables; formatting of
C program fragments is simple however, since it is done fully automatically.
When used properly, CWEB can be used to produce documents that combine the
qualities of a scientific publication about algorithms and of a well documented
source listing for an implementation of those algorithms.
