-p: Buffer up a style-file entry

This option specifies a style-file entry (see Style). Its argument is exactly the same as a line that one may put into the local FWEB style file. Thus, if in fweb.sty one would say entry="value", the form of the -p option would be -pentry='"value"'. (The single quotes are required on a UNIX system because the double quotes have special significance to the shell.)

This option can be used either in the .fweb initialization file (see Initialization), to record style-file entries that are common to all runs, or on the command line, to override a local style-file entry for a single run. This behavior is a consequence of the following order of processing style parameters:

1. -p options in .fweb;
2. entries in the local style file fweb.sty;
3. -p options on the command line.
