: Recognize short comments (FORTRAN & RATFOR)If this command is not used with the FORTRAN-like languages, the
//
construction will be interpreted
as concatenation rather than as the beginning of a short comment.
Concatenation can be signified with FWEB's token\/
, so no
penalty is incurred for using -/
.
One way of invoking this option is with the global language command,
such as @n/
. Another is to put the command into the
initialization file .fweb
.
