excerpt allows you to extract pieces of a tex file generated by weave.
Like the TeX macros, excerpt recognizes the following hierarchy of
section names:
In Text In Contents
#*= major division new page Bold title
#* ordinary section new page standard title
#*1 subsection new page indented
#*2 subsection same page indented
#*3 subsection new page double-indented
#*4 subsection same page double-indented
Each kind of section is said to ``contain'' all sections below it in
the table. Thus if you have a WEB file with a section called
``#*=Abstract Syntax.'', that section will contain all of the sections
up to (and not including) the next #*=. excerpt makes heavy use of
containment.
If you type `excerpt vcgen', the program will go through a list of all
of the sections in vcgen.tex, asking you whether you want to include
each one. You may reply `y' (yes), `n' (no), or `a' (all). Or you
may hit the carriage return and get the default (all). The replies
have the following meanings:
y include the section, and ask about contained subsections
n omit this section, along with all the sections it contains
a include this section and all the sections it contains
The output is written to `vcgen-excerpts.tex', and must be run through
TeX and dvi in the usual way. Of course you can use any name, not
just vcgen.
