Text Formatting ⇒ box in a newenvironment

[Aurelien]

Hi all,

I am on Ubuntu Karmic Koala using Tex-live.

I am writing a document in which I have to put chunks of code. I would like to put these in red in a box with a grey background. The following code does what I want:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{verbatim}
\usepackage{color}
\usepackage{tikz}

\begin{document}

\begin{tikzpicture}
\node[left,text width=11cm, fill=gray!30,inner sep=1ex]
{\color{red!90}
\begin{verbatim}
Some code
\end{verbatim}
};
\end{tikzpicture}

\end{document}

Because I am going to use this many times, I wanted to put this in a newenvironment that I could call when needed. Despite many attempts, I have not been able to do that so far. My knowledge in Latex is limited and I was wondering whether somebody could explain me how to do that.

Thanks in advance

Aurélien
