Hi there,
I hope this two UseNet-Groups (comp.programming.literate
and comp.text.tex) are the right place to put my question into
(and to recieve a helpfully answer) :-)
I'm sorry for my broken English. It is not my native language.
After having some experience in using LaTeX [but not TeX] and
programming C/C++ and Java I am now trying to learn CWEB.
I have tried to "cweb"-ing a localized (german) version of a simple
cweb-Programm: "Hello World -- in C und TeX via CWEB"
CWEAVE (Version 3.64e Win32) [.w-> .tex]
CTANGLE (Version 3.64e Win32)[.w -> .c]
both from cweb.exe at [1]
workes very well on my web-file :-)
gcc can compile the generated c-Code :-)
For me a bit strange situation:
- pdftex doesn't like the produced tex-file -> no direct pdf-file. :-(
- tex can generate a dvi-file :-) But not as I have expected. :-(
The dvi-file has two unwanted pages at the beginnig of the document.
The fist page is empty but the headline has an English notice
"<Name of title> CWEB OUTPUT 1"
The second page is empty but the headline has a German notice
"2 CWEB Ausgabe <Name of title>"
After these two pages the real document is started.
For better problem solving I have remove most contents from the
WEB-file. But the pdftex problem and the unwantend first two pages
in tex-output still remains.
I searched around but I can't find a method inside TeX to remove
the fist unwanted pages.
From the WEB and TeX code (down below) you can see, that I have
used \input verb.tex. The code from verb.tex was copy&pasted from [2].
If I don't use verb.tex I can't getting verbatim tex-code printed in
documentation. But if I don't use verb.tex the second unwanted page
doesn't occur. The fist one is still there.
If I don't use dcwebmac.tex from [3] pdftex does not produces
error-messages. But the automatical inserted text by cweave are English
and I want them to be German. (German inserts for a German documentation.)
For error message and Source-Code (mini-example CWEB-Code and TeX-Code)
see below.
Can someone please help me?
Best regards,
Robert Hartmann
