4.2.78 ‘-#’: Turn off comments about line and section numbers (FTANGLE)

By default, tangled output includes comments about the line and section numbers corresponding to the current piece of code. To eliminate this clutter, say ‘-#’. (But note that the line-number information is very useful for debugging in C and C++, as it enables the debugger to display the source line in the web file.)

In some cases, bugs in tangled output, particularly from FORTRAN, can be eliminated by using ‘-#’. (But please report the bug anyway; Support.)

In some cases, it is useful to turn off the line- and section-number information locally. This can be done with the ‘@q’ command. See ATq.
