Text Formatting ⇒ Hyphenation in verbatim environment

[I am Gianluca]

Hi all,
I want to insert on my dissertation thesis some piece of code from STATA. I've already thought about listings package but it doesn't recognise STATA's code. So, instead of using it I've tried the verbatim environment, which gives a better look in my own opinion.

Code: Select all

\begin{verbatim}
	mlogit financing relativvalue crossborder crosssector hostile restructuring recommended arrangement privatisation contested cashassumed debtcashfreebias exit publictakeover targetlisted earnout targetindepence acquirorindence shareholderprotection creditorprotection, base(4)
\end{verbatim}

This is the code that I need to write. Anything works fine but hyphenation.
I can't understand how hyphen on this environment maintaining a eyes candy justified format

Thank you for your time,
Gianluca

Even if the listings package doesn't have syntax highlighting predefined for your language, it will always do a job at least as good as the verbatim environment which never does highlighting. Why not use it?

I second the idea to use the listings package. I have used it myself and used it to span multiple pages with appropriate formatting. You can even go so far and define your own language's syntax or modify existing ones to match the same.

Perhaps, you ought to give it a try.

Another suggestion would be to use the tabbing command/package if the snippets are not too long.

Best,
Skanda.

Thank you for the answers
You've got a point, but even with the listings package I haven't a great right alignment.
I upload a picture so you could better understand what I mean.

Triple / (///) means a hyphenation on STATA code only for writing pleasure. If I need to insert the code on STATA I should insert it in one string.
That trick is commonly used on papers, researches and help documentations for this software.
