Text Formatting ⇒ Inline code in itemize environment

[sierra1bravo]

Dear all
I wish everyone a productive 2009!

I am a new user of the Beamer class, and I have a small problem. In a bulleted list (using \begin{itemize}) I would like to have some in-line code (actually some XML snippets). I tried

Code: Select all

Code, edit and compile here:

1
2
3
4
\begin{itemize}
\item ...
\item For example, \verb#ACTION VIEW content://contacts/1# or \verb#ACTION\_DIAL tel:9447027274#
\end{itemize}

Run LaTeX here

However, I get the error "Illegal parameter number in definition of \test.". What is the recommended way to quote code in-line?

thanks in advance

I'm not sure if this an issue of the code you provided here. It works fine with other document classes. The best way to clarify this would be to build a minimal working example (MWE) that reproduces the error. But there are some alternatives.

Since you don't want any LaTeX related commands to be typeset, you could use \texttt{...} instead of \verb|...|. A more comfortable solution is given with the listings package. It allows to typeset complete listings as well as some in-line code snippets.


Best regards and welcome to the board

You need to use the [fragile] modifier for frames when using anything verbatim.
