knuth-hint – HINT collection of typeset C/WEB sources in TeX Live
The knuth-hint package contains the large
collection of HINT documents for many of the CWEB amd WEB
sources of programs in the TeX Live distribution (and, for
technical reasons, a PDF document for XeTeX). Each
program is presented in its original form as written by the
respective authors, and in the changed
form as used in TeX
Live. Care has been taken to keep the section numbering intact,
so that you can study the codes and the changes in parallel.
Also included are the errata
for Donald Knuth’s Computers
& Typesetting
.
HINT is the dynamic document format created by Martin Ruckert’s HiTeX engine that was added to TeX Live 2022. The HINT files can be viewed on Linux, Windows, and Android with the hintview application. The knuth-hint package is a showcase of HiTeX’s capabilities.
