+ | SPVERBATIM: Verbatim text with breakable spaces |
+ | By Scott Pakin, scott+spverb@pakin.org |
+ +-------------------------------------------------+
+
+
+Description
+-----------
+
+LaTeX's \verb macro treats its argument as an unbreakable unit of
+text. This can lead to poor typesetting, especially when the argument
+is long. The spverbatim package provides an \spverb macro that is
+analogous to \verb and an spverbatim environment that is analogous to
+verbatim with the difference being that \spverb and spverbatim allow
+LaTeX to break lines at space characters.
+
+
+Installation
+------------
+
+There's nothing special about building spverbatim:
+
+ latex spverbatim.ins <== Generate spverbatim.sty
+
+If you're new to this, see
+http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=instpackages for more
+information on installing packages.
