Great!

It works on my computer. However, when I tried it on my own project, I
discovered another "for-me" problem, that probably betrays my sloppiness. I
have multiple scrap placeholders that refer to nothing. The older nuweb
versions respond on this with a warning only, but nuweb-1.55 writes the
placeholder in the output. E.g. when nuweb-1.01 processes the following file

---testit.w-----------------------
\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
@o test.out @{@%
Some text.
@< a placeholder that refers to nothing @>
@| @}
\end{document}
----------------------------------

, it produces the following "test.out":

---test.out----------------------
Some text.

---------------------------------.

However, nuweb 1.55 produces:

---test.out----------------------
Some text.
@<a placeholder that refers to nothing@>
---------------------------------.

Thanks,

Paul.
