- Has there been any progress on the WEB-Lisp front? The last I've heard
- of it there was only Scheme-Web available and even that was a very scaled
- down tool, in comparison with systems such as FWEB. Yet, Lisp needs annotation
- much like any other language (although, tangling is of lesser importance,
- perhaps). In particular I'd like to be able to place comments with
- real mathematical symbols in the Lisp code, and to use all power of TeX
- in annotations. Naturally, it would be also nice if the corresponding
- Lisp-WEB knew how to format lisp, which Lisp words should be emboldened,
- italicised, etc.
-
- Is there a WEB system which could be tweaked into working with Lisp easily?
- Can Spider-WEB be used for that?
