-\section{Literate programming}
-
-\Question[Q-lit]{What is Literate Programming?}
-
-Literate programming is the combination of documentation and source
-together in a fashion suited for reading by human beings.
-In general, literate programs combine source
-and documentation in a single file. Literate programming tools then
-parse the file to produce either readable documentation or compilable
-source. The \acro{WEB} style of literate programming was created by
-D.~E.~Knuth during the development of \TeX{}.

-\begin{htmlversion}
- The ``\Qref{documented \LaTeX{}}{Q-dtx}'' style of programming
-\end{htmlversion}
-is regarded by some as a form of literate programming, though it only
-contains a subset of the constructs Knuth used.
-
-Discussion of literate programming is conducted in the newsgroup
-\Newsgroup{comp.programming.literate}, whose \acro{FAQ} is stored on
-\acro{CTAN}. Another good source of information is

-\Question[Q-webpkgs]{\acro{WEB} systems for various languages}
-
-\TeX{} is written in the programming language \acro{WEB}; \acro{WEB}
-is a tool to implement the concept of ``literate programming''.
-Knuth's original implementation will be in any respectable
-distribution of \TeX{}, but the sources of the two tools
-(\ProgName{tangle} and \ProgName{weave}), together with a manual
-outlining the programming techniques, may be had from \acro{CTAN}.
-
-\acro{\ProgName{CWEB}}, by Silvio Levy, is a \acro{WEB} for \acro{C} programs.
-
-\acro{\ProgName{FWEB}}, by John Krommes, is a version for Fortran,
-Ratfor,\acro{C}, \acro{C}++, working with \latex{}; it was derived
-from \ProgName{CWEB}.
-
-Spidery \acro{WEB}, by Norman Ramsey, supports many
-languages including Ada, \texttt{awk}, and \acro{C}
-and, while not in the public domain, is usable without charge. It is
-now superseded by \ProgName{noweb} (also by Norman Ramsay) which
-incorporates the lessons learned in implementing spidery \acro{WEB},
-and which is a simpler, equally powerful, tool.
-
-\ProgName{Scheme}\acro{\ProgName{WEB}}, by John Ramsdell, is a Unix filter that
-translates Scheme\acro{WEB} into \LaTeX{} source or Scheme source.
-
-\acro{\ProgName{APLWEB}} is a version of \acro{WEB} for \acro{APL}.
-
-\ProgName{FunnelWeb} is a version of \acro{WEB} that is language independent.
-
-Other language independent versions of \acro{WEB} are \ProgName{nuweb} (which
-is written in \acro{ANSI} \acro{C}).
-
-\ProgName{Tweb} is a \acro{WEB} for \plaintex{} macro files, using
-\ProgName{noweb}.
