AFTWEB uses a CWEB-like syntax. It uses AFT for documentation

with very few commands). AFTWEB was written in AFTWEB (using
C++) and the weaved document is available online (as HTML) at
the URL listed above.
Support for C and C++ is supplied. You can easily support other

description file.

at the same URL as AFTWEB.
