## Projektgeschichte und Nutzung

CWEB is Donald Knuth and Silvio Levy's literate-programming system for C, C++, and Java, pairing TeX documentation with source extraction through cweave and ctangle.

### Projektgeschichte

Knuth's official page explains that WEB originated while he wrote TeX, and that Silvio Levy adapted WEB to C in 1987. Knuth and Levy then revised and enhanced CWEB, including support for C++, ANSI C, and later Java-oriented use.

### Adoptionsgeschichte

CWEB has stayed relevant less as a mass-market build tool than as a durable literate-programming reference implementation. The current GitHub project describes several decades of accumulated experience and treats the repository partly as software archaeology for original Levy/Knuth releases.

### Wie es verwendet wird

CWEB authors write .w files that mix explanation, TeX markup, and program fragments. ctangle extracts compilable source, while cweave produces typeset documentation for humans.

### Warum Paket-Nerds sich dafür interessieren

For package nerds, CWEB is a bridge between TeX culture and systems programming: it packages a historically important programming methodology, a stable pair of classic command-line tools, and a living archive of CWEB releases.

### Zeitleiste

- 1987: Silvio Levy adapts WEB to C.
- 1993: Knuth and Levy publish The CWEB System of Structured Documentation.
- 2001: Third printing documents version 3.6 with hypertext extensions.
- The ascherer/cweb repository carries release records and archival material.

### Related projects

- CWEB is related to WEB, TeX, CTANGLE, CWEAVE, CTWILL, TeX Live, and other literate-programming environments.
