NOWEB: How to create an index of all the code-chunks in a Latex PDF file












0















I've recently got interested in the noweb program by Norman Ramsey for the creation of literate programs in any programming language. Thus far I have been able to install noweb, weave into Latex and tangle the hello world program given on the wikipedia page and play around a little compiling silly hello world programs to tune the output and code formatting.



Here is the pdf output of a simple noweb file I created based on the code on the wikipedia page. The tex file was obtained via the terminal command
noweave -index -delay -latex hello.nw > hello.tex



enter image description here



The noweb code I used was



documentclass{article}
usepackage{noweb}
usepackage{blindtext}
input{standard_settings.tex} % contains some of my own latex settings


title{Hello World}
author{A.U.Thor}
begin{document}
maketitle
section{Hello world}

@
Today I awoke and decided to write
some code, so I started to write Hello World in textsf C++.

<<hello.c>>=
/*<<license>>*/
#include <stdio.h>

int main(int argc, char *argv) {
<<body>>
return 0;
}

@
section{License}
Later the same day some lawyer reminded me about licenses.
So, here it is:

<<license>>=
This work is placed in the public domain.
@

section{Body}
The body of the code. First say hello
<<body>>=
printf("Hello world!n");
@

Ask how things are.
<<body>>=
printf("How are youn");
@

Wish them goodbye.
<<body>>=
printf("Goodbye world!n");
@

end{document}


However, the latex file does not create any index, containing the list of code-chunks and the page numbers where they are defined. In Knuth's book on literate programming every literate program has some sort of index containing an index of identifiers along with the code-chunks. Screenshot below from my personal copy of Literate Programming by Knuth.

I read the manual page of noweb on my computer (the online man-pages seem broken) whose screenshot I attach here, but nothing seems to have been mentioned on how to create such an index.



How do I create it? Does noweb support this feature?
