verbatim environment and the \verb command are
implemented. The starred varieties are currently not implemented.
(The implementation of the verbatim environment is not the
standard LaTeX implementation, but the one from the verbatim
package by Rainer Schöpf). The command \+verb+
can be used as a shortcut for \verb+verb+.
Furthermore, there is another, new environment example.
example is also useful for including program listings or code
examples. Like verbatim, it is typeset in a typewriter font
with a fixed character pitch, and obeys spaces and line breaks. But
here ends the similarity, since example obeys the special
characters \, {, }, and %. You can
still use font changes within an example environment, and you
can also place hyperlinks there. Here is
an example:
To clear a flag, use
\begin{example}
{\back}clear\{\var{flag}\}
\end{example}
Note also that an example environment is indented
automatically, while a verbatim environment is not.
In the LaTeX document, you can set the amount of indentation by
setting \exampleindent:
(The\setlength{\exampleindent}{4mm}
example environment is very similar to the alltt
environment of the alltt package. The differences are that example
is automatically indented and obeys the % character.)
