Users can perform common tasks like changing +font family and size, numbering lines, framing code examples, colouring text +and conditionally processing text. + + `fancyvrb' was heavily used in the typesetting of the "LaTeX Graphics +Companion", by Michel Goossens, Sebastian Rahtz and Frank Mittelbach, Addison +Wesley, 1997. + + It was presented March 31, 1998 for EuroTeX'98. The original paper is +available on (courtesy "Cahiers GUTenberg"): +http://www.univ-rennes1.fr/pub/GUTenberg/publicationsPS/28-29-girou.ps.gz +The description part of `fancyvrb' is not up to date (it was the content +of the version 2.5) but the additional paragraph about it usage to the +typesetting of the "LaTeX Graphics Companion" provide in depth informations +on some usages of `fancyvrb' not described elsewhere. + + The "contrib" subdirectory contain the `fvrb-ex' package (from Denis Girou), +built above `fancyvrb', which offer some "example" environments showing both +the code in verbatim mode and the result of it normally formatted. + + Warning! + -------- + + * Support is provided by Denis Girou and Sebastian Rahtz and not by +Timothy Van Zandt. Do not bother him with questions relative to `fancyvrb'! + + * The standard `color' package must be available, with a correct "color.cfg" +file defining the dvi converter that must be used. + + * If the `changebar' package is available on your platform, the changes +since the preceding version will be marked by special gray bars printed +in the margins. But the driver name must be hardcoded in the file. +So, if you have `changebar' and are not using the "dvips" driver, change this +name in the line + {\ChangeBartrue\usepackage[dvips,rightbars]{changebar}}{} +in fancyvrb.dtx (the other drivers supported by this package are "dvitoln03", +"dvitops" and "emtex"). + If you really need to desactivate this feature (it must not be the case, +as there will be no effect if you haven't `changebar', and, if you have it, +it must work on your platform...) just change the two relevant lines to: +\IfFileExists{changebar.sty}{}{} + +............................................................................. + + Comments, suggestions and bug reports (with version number and the +keyword "fancyvrb" in the subject of the message) to <Denis.Girou@idris.fr> +and <s.rahtz@elsevier.co.uk> + |
