Hi Gaby,
I've once made a test and Bill confirmed my findings...
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/axiom-developer/2005-12/msg00262.html
It seems that there is only ONE line in Axiom that still needs the noweb
patch. I think we should simple add an @ to escape the << and get rid
of the noweb sources.
Tim seems to want the following "non-noweb convention".
If
... <<Blah>> ...
appears in the text and the chunk name <<Blah>> is not defined,
then noweb should output "<<Blah>>" literally.
That is not Norman Ramsey's definition, he doesn't like it and he even
presented an awk-script that can be used as a filter to achieve that
behaviour.
We should get rid of this convention and we should not have need for the
awk script. I would rather tell to people that they should write
according to noweb's definition than introducing a slight modification
like given through the above convention. (Where should we document that
anyway?)
Ralf
