--- WEB CONCEPTS; FWEB FEATURES ---

The best general reference to the concepts of WEB and literate programming is D. E. Knuth, ``Literate Programming'' (Center for the Study of Language and Information, Leland Standard Junior University, 1992).

FWEB introduces the concept of a current language *Note Languages:: so more than one compiler language can be processed in a single WEB run.

FWEB contains a built-in Ratfor (RATional FORtran) translator. *Note Ratfor::

FWEB also has a built-in C-like macro preprocessor, which should be especially useful for Fortran and Ratfor. *Note Macros:: *Note Preprocessing::

Please see the user manual fwebman.tex for a full discussion of all features of FWEB. A concise summary of syntax and other features can be found in guide.tex, which consists of several appendices from the full manual.
