Minor patch to pdftex.web to make it weave-able
Hi pdftex developers, Please consider the attached patch file for pdftex.web, which should not have any functional change. I know that pdftex.web is mainly compiled through web2c these days. So although written as an extension of tex.web it is not "really" intended as being in the WEB language, as tex.web once was. So one cannot expect the WEB tools to work on it. Still, it would be nice to run weave on it, especially since the changes needed are so minor (attached) and don't affect the web2c conversion (as far as I can tell). Specifically: 1. In one place, a module (section) name contains |goto found|| instead of |goto found| 2. In another place, a few lines of Pascal code are commented out with { ... } inside which weave expects valid TeX; instead they can be commented out with @{ ... @} or deleted altogether if appropriate. Regards, Shreevatsa
Please consider the attached patch file for pdftex.web, which should not have any functional change. Thanks! I'll apply it. Still, it would be nice to run weave on it, Indeed, it's definitely intended that weave still work. Thanks again. -k
Hi Shreevatsa - I have applied your patch from August 15 to make pdftex.web weave-able again. Sorry for the delay, thanks for the fix. This is in the TeX Live repository; I still have not had time to sync the pdftex repository since the TL17 release :(. http://tug.org/svn/texlive/trunk/Build/source/texk/web2c/pdftexdir/pdftex.we... Best, Karl
Thank you! I can confirm that I can successfully weave-and-pdftex the
