What is it?

With eWEB you can weave and tangle literate programs written as AsciiDoc documents, using embedded WEB code snippets.

The entire program is written in AsciiDoc, and the code parts (known as code snippets) are written within listing blocks.

A literate program written in eWEB format is a perfectly formed AsciiDoc document. Should eWEB disappear as a tool, the original document is still perfectly rendered by AsciiDoc. AsciiDoc documents themselves are also perfectly readable in source form.

At the core of eWEB there are two tools: Etangle and Eweave.

Etangle extracts and reorders the code snippets found in the program document. It produces source code modules which can then be processed by your application development toolchain.

Eweave inserts hyperlinks within the code snippets so that the rendered code snippets can be cross referenced by your readers.
