+" Vim syntax file
+" Language:	WEB
+" Maintainer:	Andreas Scherer <andreas.scherer@pobox.com>
+" Last Change:	April 30, 2001
+
+" Details of the WEB language can be found in the article by Donald E. Knuth,
+" "The WEB System of Structured Documentation", included as "webman.tex" in
+" the standard WEB distribution, available for anonymous ftp at
+" ftp://labrea.stanford.edu/pub/tex/web/.
+
+" For version 5.x: Clear all syntax items
+" For version 6.x: Quit when a syntax file was already loaded
+if version < 600
+  syntax clear
+elseif exists("b:current_syntax")
+  finish
+endif
+
+" Although WEB is the ur-language for the "Literate Programming" paradigm,
+" we base this syntax file on the modern superset, CWEB.  Note: This shortcut
+" may introduce some illegal constructs, e.g., CWEB's "@c" does _not_ start a
+" code section in WEB.  Anyway, I'm not a WEB programmer.
+if version < 600
+  source <sfile>:p:h/cweb.vim
+else
+  runtime! syntax/cweb.vim
+  unlet b:current_syntax
+endif
+
+" Replace C/C++ syntax by Pascal syntax.
+syntax include @webIncludedC <sfile>:p:h/pascal.vim
+
+" Double-@ means single-@, anywhere in the WEB source (as in CWEB).
+" Don't misinterpret "@'" as the start of a Pascal string.
+syntax match webIgnoredStuff "@[@']"
