Web

WEB is a computer programming system created by

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Donald Knuth as the first implementation of what he called

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

"literate programming": the idea that one could create

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

software as works of literature, by embedding bits of code

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

inside descriptive text, rather than the reverse as is common

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

practice in most programming languages.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

The WEB system consisted of two primary programs: tangle,

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

which produced compilable Pascal

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

code from the source texts, and weave, which produced

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

nicely-formatted printable documentation using TeX.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

A newer version of WEB is CWEB.
