There have been a few questions about formatting code (about WEB).  This more
broadly referred to as literate programming.  There is a column named
"Literate Programming" (appearing sometimes) in CACM which disccusses this
topic.  For example, the Sept '89 CACM Literate Programming column contains
an article on spiderweb, a language-indepent WEB implementation.

I am aware of two "WEB" implementations which are avaiable via FTP, cweb and
spiderweb.  Both are located at princeton.edu.  Also, you should be able to (at
least in some cases) obtain the Knuth's origial web from the same place you
obtained TeX.
