I have used Interscript -mentioned by others - for a number of years quite usefully - not sure of the CWEB syntax but I think its
similar.
I found that a bit clumsy so wrote a WYSIWYG editor for it using Python/Tkinter - rough but easy.
- it certainly works. Maybe a bit slow for big projects but it sure maintains readability!!
