To compile its documentation (weave):
noweave test.nw > test.tex
pdflatex test.tex
evince test.pdf
To compile its “code” (tangle):
notangle test.nw > test.txt
cat test.txt
Here is a test.nw program that I wrote:
% a test program in noweb
% comments get ignored
<<*>>=
This bit of is "the program".
For the purpose of this test, we'll just write plaintext.
Here are some common terms, imported via macros:
<<foo>>
<<bar>>
@
This is the other ``side'' of the literate program.
It is going to get compiled in to via \texttt{pdflatex}.
\[ e^{i \pi} + 1 = 0 \]
<<foo>>=
This line says foo.
@
This chunk documents foo.
[[ And this is some code that I need interleaved with the documentation.]]
You can do math here: $1 + 1 = 2$.
<<bar>>=
And this line says bar.
@
And this documents bar.
[[
You can put quoted code on multiple lines.
]]
