10.1.2.1 User macros

For the user’s convenience, fwebmac.sty defines a variety of macros such as ‘\FWEB’, ‘\Fortran’, etc. Refer to fwebmac.web for a complete list.

FWEAVE usurps various common single-character macros such as ‘\.’ for its own purposes. So the user can still access their original definitions, those are ‘\let’ equal to alternative commands such as ‘\period’. For example, commands such as the following are executed in fwebmac.sty:

\let\amp\&
\let\at\@@
\let\bslash\\
\let\caret\^
\let\dollar\$
\let\dstar\*
\let\equals\=
\let\leftbrace\{
\let\period\.
\let\rightbrace\}
\let\vertbar|
\let\PM\#
\let\PC\%

(Some of the more inscrutable synonyms are for historical reasons.)
