web2go

Overview ¶

Command web2go is an attempt to mechanically translate tex.web to Go. (Work in progress.)

This program is being developed and tested using a tex.web file annotated as

% Version 3.141592653 was similar but more extensive (January 2021)

and will probably crash on any other version or modification of it. It's a non-goal, at this stage, to handle anything else than this one file of this single version.

Installation ¶

To install:

$ go install modernc.org/web2go

Dependencies ¶

An external programs must be available in $PATH.
