Text Formatting ⇒ verbatim inside savebox, newwatermark...

[erwann]

Hello, how do I get verbatim to work inside savebox, newwatermark?

Code: Select all

\newwatermark*[allpages,color=red!50,angle=45,scale=2,xpos=0,ypos=0]
{
% What I would like, but generates error
% \verb|Copyright (2018) name@gmail.com| 
% Poor workaround:
	$\mathrm{Copyright (2018) name@gmail.com}$
}

You don't. The \verb command and the verbatim environment must be able to be rendered immediately; they cannot appear in footnotes, headers, section headings, captions, and so forth.

If you want fixed-width fonts in such contexts, use the \texttt command. By the way, next time give a minimum working example so we don't have to spend ten minutes trying to figure out which package provides the newwatermark command.

I made the following minimal working example of something that actually generates a document:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{textcomp}
\usepackage{xcolor}
\usepackage{xwatermark}
\newwatermark*[allpages,color=red!50,angle=45,scale=2,xpos=0,ypos=0]
{% Better?
    Copyright \copyright 2018 \href{mailto:name@gmail.com}{\texttt{name@gmail.com}}
}
\begin{document}
hello
\end{document}

You're going to want to adjust the parameters, because scale=2 is too big.

Sorry. I thought someone would know off the top of his head, I would have been happy with just try "texttt".
