Text Formatting ⇒ Display verbatim LaTeX Command in Output

[man2011]

Dear All,

I am preparing a slide to be used for teaching how LaTeX is used. And I need to type a LaTeX command and explain it like the following.

Code: Select all

\begin{quotation}
\end{quotation}

I want the LaTeX command to be shown in the PDF view so I can explain the LaTeX command to the audience?


Thanks a lot

The very basic solution would be to use the verbatim environment for longer pieces of code and to use the \verb|…| command for in-line display of single commands. There are some enhancements by packages.

• fancyvrb
• moreverb

For more sophisticated display of complete code listings it is suggestive to use packages with appropriate capabilities.

• listings
• minted

For display of LaTeX code along with the corresponding output there is the showexpl package.
