The past month or so I've been using nuweb to formulate my solutions to The Weekly Challenge. The latest entry is up at http://www.rabbitfarm.com/cgi-bin/blosxom/perl/2024/03/23<http://www.rabbitfarm.com/cgi-bin/blosxom/perl/2024/03/23>. While I used literate programming quite a bit for more academic work this type of usage is very new to me. Plenty of things to improve. Certainly I need to modify the css to improve the style. Also, probably just my general writing too! I'd like to include more graphics via tikz and graphviz. |

OK but is -no-xattrs standard? it doesn’t show on 'man linux' via google I archived with -no-xattrs, but the result of an immediate extraction was $ xattr -v -r nuweb-1.62 nuweb-1.62/test/00/t0009a.sh: com.apple.lastuseddate#PS nuweb-1.62/Makefile: com.apple.lastuseddate#PS nuweb-1.62/README: com.apple.lastuseddate#PS nuweb-1.62/htdocs/index.html: com.apple.lastuseddate#PS so it’s not obvious what you need?

I struggled quite a bit recently to get decent looking html generated with latex2html. While it works fine in many cases it seemed to struggle with what I consider to be pretty normal things, like latex macros. Some research led me to tex4ht, along with make4ht, which handled whatever I could throw at it and produced some very nice looking html from nuweb generated latex. Also, for what it's worth, tex4t seems to be much more up to date to date than latex2html. |

Does anyone have an example of a paper published which uses Literate Programming? Doesn't necessarily have to be nuweb. The more recent (say, within the past several years) the better. Could be on any subject. The usage of LP being not especially widespread at present I am having trouble finding an example from within the past twenty years!?!? |

Nuweb does not extract program code from PDF documents. I do not know whether computerprograms exist that extract c-code from PDF documents. If that does not exist, you will have to extract the code manually. Regards, Paul Huygen |

Himanshu, I know that smo.pdf says it is a nuweb file, but this is very misleading. The nuweb (source) file that you need would have been called smo.w; nuweb processed this to create smo.tex and smo.cc. smo.tex was then processed by pdflatex or similar to create the smo.pdf that you've downloaded. Can you contact the author of the document to get hold of the original .w? If not, it would probably be possible to create a .w file by careful copy-and-paste from the .pdf file, but it'd be hard work. --S On 5 Jun 2012, at 21:04, Himanshu Singh wrote: > Hi, > > I am a new user of NUWEB.

I've been frustrated by trying to fix problems in nuweb. It can be really hard to work out how to make a change - for example, how to fix bug 2965157[1] - if it is indeed a bug! Part of this is down to the fact that nuweb is implemented in C, but I think that mostly it's because we developers haven't treated it as a proper Literate Programming project. There ought to be some explanation of why (referring to 2965157 again) there's a scrap reference inside the parameter list. I think (from discussions on the nuweb-users mailing list) that it was deliberate, but I see no clue as to the intention. As another problem (far from the only one!), what is a block comment? Anyway, to scratch this itch I've been reworking nuweb in Python. The code repository is at [2]; it's a Mercurial[3] repo. So far, the parts implemented are: * files (@o and @O, but no flags) * fragments (@d and @D, but no flags) * scraps (delimited by @{ @} only) * user-defined identifiers * old-style fragment parameters * indices @f, @m and @u (I've laid @u out a little differently) * @% (anywhere in the document, not just in scraps) * @# (put code line at left margin) * @@ handling (this one was tricky, and I may not have caught all the cases) * switch -r (generate hyperlinks), aliased --hyperlinks. It won't handle the current nuweb.w, because that web uses new-style parameters. However, it will process it and generate LaTeX. nuweb.w reveals one shortcoming in the Python version, which is that it's slow at processing user-defined identifiers. It takes 8s on this Macbook Pro to process nuweb.w, against 0.07s for the C version. The fix for this (if it's worth it; the other webs I have take about a second overall, which isn't very painful) may be to implement the string search which nuweb.w uses [4], though a quick trial of acora[5] suggests that a pure Python implementation will be slower than the current re-based implementation in nuweb.py. So why haven't I written nuweb.py as a web? I suppose the answer is, that I've been exploring the problem while writing the code, which doesn't seem to be a very `literate' approach. Now that the overall structure is reasonably clear, maybe it can be webified. That would at least force me to provide wome user-oriented documentation!

I noticed that if we try and include punctuation in a macro name (e.g. @<Get "("@>) then nuweb crashes with message to user. Perhaps this restriction could be added to documentation and/or error messages. Sent via BlackBerry by AT&T |

I imagine that it is quite demanding to ask for a switch to turn the feature on or off. I use the empty placeholders often as a reminder, and sometimes I use templates, e.q. for functions, that include placeholders that could be used later on. So, maybe I should change my programming strategy. Anyway, thank you and Keith for your greatly appreciated efforts wrt Nuweb. Paul. |

Paul, This feature was introduced by Keith Harwood. It seems odd to me, perhaps Keith will tell us what it's for. --S On 10 May 2011, at 13:07, Paul Huygen wrote: > Dear Simon, > On Mon, 09 May 2011 18:10:13 +0100, Simon Wright wrote >> Paul, >> >> I've had a go, attached to this message.

Dear Simon, On Mon, 09 May 2011 18:10:13 +0100, Simon Wright wrote > Paul, > > I've had a go, attached to this message.

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. |

Paul, I've had a go, attached to this message. It involved a recursive call to source_get(), not I think a problem on modern machines but with nuweb you never know! It works fine with nuweb itself, my web that used the feature, and a test case 631095.w (also attached). Can you have a try and see how you get on? Regards, --S |
