You are right and the Makefile is wrong. Everything with extension .pamphlet should be processed by noweave before calling latex.nope. that's not the case.noweb is just a preprocessing tool, not a requirement for literate programming.there is no requirement (or intended requirement) that a .pamphlet file implies running noweb. some of the files in any documented axiom system will not contain code and will not need noweb. they are, however, perfectly vaild .pamphlet files. t
Please define the format of a .pamphlet file so that people can write tools to support that format. (If the format is moving, that is not a problem, but we should always have an up-to-date description of that format.)
Up to now I thought the format is like the one in noweb, but already with your patch to noweb, you modified that. Without a documented format we end up like SPAD is now. A language without formal specification. Good luck.
