General ⇒ Verbatim code examples and wrapping text around images

[evanesco]

Hi everybody, I've got some questions about LaTeX.

One is, how can I insert text in verbatim and the output, in two columns, like in "The Not So Short Introduction to LaTeX2e"? That is, like the examples.

And the second one is, how can I write around a graphic? If I put a picture, can I write a text that starts just to the top right side of the graphic, instead of under it?

I hope you understand me.

For the first problem i would suggest two minipage environments side by side, where one of them contains the source code and the other has the output. For the other problem there is the package wrapfig, which allows to place a picture and let text flow around by providing the environment wrapfigure. An alternative could be the picins package.

Minipage goes perfect, thanks. I will see the graphics' one later.

When I write it in two minipages, the one in verbatim keeps on out of the box, as you can see here:


Furthermore, if I want to insert it in a box, (I think it's with "framebox"), LyX shows some errors.

The box with normal text is using "doublebox" and does not give any error.

I had to search a while but i found the showexpl package, which provides a command and an environment. This should support you in a very comfortable way.
