Hi Dave.

The TexiWebJr system is written in itself, so if you read how it
works you should be able to see to use it. You can look at the
input file for the 'texindex' program also to see it in use.

It really is just a thin layer over regular Texinfo.  The texindex
program comes out as around 25 pages, not a lot; the ti.twjr input
file is only 1329 lines, also not a lot.

Clone the two repos and poke around. :-)

Thanks!

Arnold
