[?] Question about CWEB syntax

[igor.li...@gmail.com]

Hi all,

In the following files from

http://www-cs-faculty.stanford.edu/~uno/programs.html

we see three different styles for index text:

polynum.w @^Jensen, Iwan@>
embed.w @^{early neighbors}@>
setset-all.w ^{Kerber, Adalbert}

Which of the three styles is correct and why?

BTW, the last example does not compile with TeX.

Best,
Igor

Hi Igor,

From the CWEB User Manual:
http://www.literateprogramming.com/cweb.pdf (page 8)

@^[TMCc] * The control text that follows, up to the next ‘@>’, will be
entered into the index together with the identifiers of the C program;
this text will appear in roman type. For example, to put the phrase
“system dependencies” into the index that is output by CWEAVE,
type ‘@^system dependencies@>’ in each section that you want to
index as system dependent.



Best regards,
Robert
