If you have some troubles and those forms don't work mail me everything at
lm@sunnyspot.org.
I've written WPP insipred by cpp (the C preprocessor). The cpp
and m4 are a couple of preprocessor available for almost every system
but the syntax of them is quite undistinguishable inside a text/html source.
The prototype for WPP was written in awk and it can do only templates
inclusion and few other things, then I've started studying perl and so WPP
became what you're seeing.
The @ delimiter was taken from autoconf while looking inside the
config.status files.
Just copy the script named wpp into some convenient directory in your
PATH (i.e. /usr/local/bin). You should probably put this file somewhere safe
in case you want to refer to it later.
You may need to change the first row of the wpp script in order to match
the correct path for your perl interpreter.
Actually WPP cannot check for recursive template inclusion (while 1.34 do
that) or macro call, this stuff will be fixed as soon as possible.

Jens Finkhäuser, for reporting a subtle bug in output file name generation in
wpp-2.13.1.31.
-
Adam Byrtek for mantaining Debian
packages of WPP and other suggestions.
-
Kai Duebbert who sent a patch for wpp-2.13
allowing XHTML compliant output.
-
Bastian who reported a unwanted \D escape in \$\Date\$ in wpp-2.13 with
perl 5.6.0.
-
Mikko Apo who requested the output of
SYSTEM postprocessable in wpp 2.13.
-
Martin Fischer, who reported a couple of serious bugs in wpp 2.11.
-
Bastian Kleineidam, who made a patch for implementing the SYSTEM built-in
macro for wpp-2.11.
-
Petr Prazak, who made some new features for wpp-2.11 (DATE_FORMAT,
FILE_SIZE, FILE_DATE) and fixed some bugs.
-
Jiri Rubes, who reported and fixed
a problem with wpp 2.09 running in some environments that don't set PWD.
-
Roberto Flora, who used
WPP for the web site
Ordine Agronomi e Forestali di Bergamo.
-
Stefano Strada (Harlock).
-
Andreas Forsgren said: "WPP is *great* *great* *great*, I love it!
Thank *you* for making it." ... then requested an enhancement for the
@IF@ ;)
-
Matt Massie, another who catched the <PRE> bug of wpp 2.00 - 2.01.
-
Michelangelo Grigni for some interesting suggestions.
-
Colin Turnbull (CT), let me notice that removing empty lines
is bad behaviour for <PRE> formatted stuff. He also asked for macro
expansion into variables assigments and macro arguments ... done! ;)
-
Bastian Kleineidam, who
discovered and fixed a missing tail inclusion bug. ;)
-
Matteo Flora (Last Knight),
he discovered that
VIM (VI iMproved)
+ WPP can be better than MS FrontPad and that the trashcan may be the
best place for the last one. ;P
-
Jean-Pierre Malisse, who sent me some suggestions that pushed me in writing
the multi line macros feature of WPP ;)
-
