Text Formatting ⇒ texttt{} inside an environment

[adkdk]

Hi everyone.

I'd like to create my own environment for custom source code formatting (monotype, verbatim, small font etc). The problem is: how to format text as monospace? When declaring an environment, I must tell LaTeX what to put before and after environment contents. So I wrote:

Code: Select all

\newenvironment{code} {\texttt{ } { }}

to open \texttt{ tag before contents and close it after contents.
Piece of code is formatted using:

Code: Select all

\begin{code}
blah blah blah
\end{code}

However, it's not working - only first character is formatted, interpreter seems to be ignoring the brackets.

Any ideas how to put texttt{} inside environment?

As you want verbatim, have you considered using the alltt package or perhaps listings?

Yes, I can simply use listings. However, I'm just curious, how to deal with texttt, textbf and other similar tags in environments.

Don't use the macros, use the appropriate series/family declarations, such as \bfseries, \ttfamily, etc.
