The verbatim environment is not compatible with some of +these other environments. But now, the verbbox environment allows you +to input verbatim text and store it in a LaTeX box. That box then +becomes generally usable in all other LaTeX environments, and can be +simply recalled. + +This style therefore allows for a greater use of the verbatim +environment within other LaTeX constructs where verbatim was previously +inaccessible. + +Input to the verbatim box can either be as text typed into the verbbox +or myverbbox environments, or else as the contents of a file, provided +as an argument to the \verbfilebox command. In either case, an optional +argument may be provided to modify the text appearance, for example, by +changing the font size of the verbatim text placed into the box. + +The \addvbuffer command, while supporting this package, also provides a +flexible way to add vertical buffer space above and below most LaTeX +objects, which can be handy in a variety of applications. + + -Steven Segletes |
