Text Formatting ⇒ Command to write "usual" text in LaTeX

[GenisToii]

Hi!

I wanna know which is the command to introduce text with displaymaths or $'s without LaTeX compile them, like in a tutorial or manual of LaTeX. I was searching it in internet but I didn't know how to search it correctly so I ask here.

Sorry for bothering you.

You can do this very simple with the verbatim environment and the \verb command for short in-line code snippets.

There are packages which enhance typesetting of verbatim text.

• fancyvrb
• moreverb
• verbatim

For more elaborated typesetting of source code for arbitrary programming languages (including LaTeX) with syntax highlighting there are advanced packages.

• listings
• minted
• showexpl

For details about the capabilities of the packages refer to the corresponding manuals.

Hi,

you could use \verb, such as

Code: Select all

\verb|$\sqrt{2}$|

or the verbatim environment for longer texts.

For writing LaTeX code as demonstration, especially if you would like to have syntax highlighting, you could use the showexpl package, or more generally the listings package.

Thanks for the answers but, there's someone that doesn't need that I do the separations in the text?
Because with verbatim enviroment (I use it cause of its a longer text) I have to press enter to separate the text. If there's another possibility please tell me.

Submit a proper minimal example to give us an adequate problem description.

Sorry for answering so late. here it's the example:

Code: Select all

\begin{verbatim}

\no\underline{Sumes inferiors i superiors de Riemann}

\vspace{11pt}

\no Sigui $f\colon[a,b]\Rightarrow\mathbb{R},$ una funció acotada i $P=\{x_0,x_1,x_2,...,
x_n\}$ amb $a=x_0<x_1<x_2<...<x_n=b,$ definim com:

\begin{itemize}
\item \textit{Suma superior de la funció $f$ associada a la partició arbitraria $P$}.
 Expressada algebraicament com S(f,P), és el valor obtingut per: 
\bd
S(f,P) = \sum_{k=1}^{n}M_k(x_k-x_{k-1})
\ed
\no En que $M_k=\sup$ $\{f(x),x\in I_k\},$ que significa que $M_k$ correspon al 
valor de $f(x)$ més elevat de tots els valors possibles obtinguts a partir dels
 diferents valors de $x$ en el subinterval $I_k$.
\end{itemize}

\end{verbatim}

If you see that text, nearly each line had need a [enter] because if I didn't write it the line continues until the infinity and, when I convert it to pdf, the line is cut by the end of the page.
I would like to know how can I write this in verbatim wihtout pressing [enter] in each long text line.

Thanks

I have also tryed spverbatim, moreverb, fancyvrb and listing packages but always there are errors and any one lets me to break too long lines of verbatim enviroment...

Help please

It had been solved. I had the both packages (verbatim and spverbatim) and it makes the errors, now it's ok.
