Text Formatting ⇒ problem with verbatim layout

[verbal-l]

Hi,

I am using
\begin{verbatim}

to embedd some code into my document - however the formatting gets lost, I would like to retain the spaces and indentation of the text - I am aware of the * option to show whitepsaces but this is not what I want. Is there a way to display the code with the same formatting as i.e. in Visual Studio without having to add the spaces by hand inside Latex? When I copy/paste the Visual Studio code into the document it is displayed correctly, however when rendered everything is right-aligned.

Any tricks? Thanks.

Use the listings package to format the code. Usable solutions can be found by using the search function of the forum.

I also used listing package and according to the user's guide, it has an automatic feature of breaking long codes but it doesn't.

I just want to use one line code that doesn't worth using listing but since it's long, it goes beyond the page margin. How is it possible to display the one-line code in page layout using \begin{verbatim} ... or \verb+....+

Thanks

You have to set the line break feature explicitly.

Code: Select all

\lstset{%
  breaklines=true
}
