Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ table experiments

[hycheah]

Hi,

I am experimenting with tables in latex. But I can't figure out what is wrong here.

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{verbatim}

\begin{document}

\begin{center}
\begin{tabular}{| p{10cm} |}
\hline
\begin{verbatim}
Welcome to Boxy’s paragraph.
We sincerely hope you’ll
all enjoy the show.\\
\end{verbatim}
\hline
\end{tabular}
\end{center}

\end{document}

The error thrown in texworks is:
15 !Misplaced \noalign

Thanks!

I haven't double-checked, but I'm pretty sure that you can't use verbatim (which tells tex not do do any aligning) in a tabular env (which is all about aligning).

Try this:

Code: Select all

\parbox{10cm}{%
\hrule
\begin{verbatim}
Welcome to Boxy’s paragraph.
We sincerely hope you’ll
all enjoy the show.\\
\end{verbatim}
\hrule
}
