FWEB FWEB is a system for literate programming. It enables one to maintain both documentation and source code in a single document (the web file), and to explain the code in terms of a web of very small fragments. Because it is intimately integrated with TeX, one gains many advantages such as book-quality typesetting and extensive cross-referencing facilities. FWEB was originally intended for scientific programming (the 'F' stands for FORTRAN), and is in wide use in that arena; however, it has much broader applicability. It is an extension of Knuth's WEB system that handles the specific languages C, C++, Fortran (both F77 and F90), RATFOR, and (in a limited fashion) TeX. It also attempts to implement a WYSIWYG language-independent mode as well as a (closely-related but not identical) verbatim `language'.
