LyX ⇒ code list exceeds page dimension

[asterix45]

Hi all,

I'm using lyx for my documents and I have to insert some code.

So I've used the floating Algorithm object, added the code list inside, and wrote my code on the code list.

Generating the pdf document I can see the code that exceeds the dimension of the page but, instead of going on a new page it's cut at the page end.

I've used formatting tools like page break, page end, new page and so on but without any changes.

Can anyone help me?

Floats cannot break across a page, so you'll have to include it in a non-floating environment. This is similar to the problem with tables---the supertabular package defines a non-floating environment so the table can break across pages.

I recommend the verbatim package, which includes the \verbatiminput command. This includes an entire file, as if within \begin{verbatim}...\end{verbatim}, and allows the resulting text to break across pages.

If you really want it to float, you have three options: (1) make the font smaller so more lines fit on one page, (2) remove blank lines and/or concatenate several lines together, sacrificing vertical space for horizontal space, and (3) write shorter code.

Hi kaiserkarl13, thank you for your reply!

I've searched in te web without success. I'll try with verbatim and i'll make you know if it works!

(I can't use a smaller code because my thesis is all about this )

Here's how I included code in my dissertation:

Code: Select all

\usepackage{verbatim}
.
.
.
\let\verbinput\verbatiminput
\newenvironment{verbquote}{
  \list{}{
    \listparindent 0pt%
    \leftmargin    \parindent%
    \itemindent    \listparindent%
    \rightmargin   \leftmargin
  }%
  \small
  \item[]%
}
{\endlist}

\renewcommand{\verbatiminput}[1]{%
  \begin{verbquote}
    \verbinput{#1}
  \end{verbquote}
}
.
.
.
\section{scriptname}
This script does everything blah blah blah.
\verbatiminput{$HOME/bin/scriptname}
