  11. The following macros adjust things so that \noweb/ will use 
  12. ``visible spaces'' in double-quoted strings within code chunks. 
  13. The same effect can be 
  14. achieved for single-quoted strings by replacing each occurrence 
  15. of `[["]]', below, with `[[']]'.
  16. It doesn't work within \verb"[["~\ldots~\verb"]]" (although I 
  17. can't figure out why).
