Text Formatting ⇒ Font Size of verbatim Text causes empty Pages

[elektryk]

In my document I have the following code.

Code: Select all

{\scriptsize
\begin{verbatim}
bla bla bla (5 pages)
\end{verbatim}
}

The document looks OK, font is smaller (as it was my intention} but whole verbatim environment has size calculated according to original font size. If I put inside {verbatim} few pages of source code and make the font \scriptsize, I got one or two empty pages after verbatim. Also it makes some problem with ToC in PDF, when I select chapter just after verbatim the PDF reader jumps on the empty page, like it knew there should not be empty pages.

Is there a better way to resize font in verbatim?

What exactly is this five pages long verbatim text?

(This question is simply geared towards alternatives.)

What exactly is this five pages long verbatim text?

SQL Script.
I solved problem, this was no caused by verbatim After verbatim there was a next chapter which contains only one quite long table. The problem was if table has specific lenght (near to full page lenght) so chapter title and number could not fit on one page, whole block of chapter title and table was moved to the next page, leaving one page empty. After changing tabular environment to longtable, this table was broken into two parts and chapter header return to correct page.

For the formatting of code in a certain (programming) language you should take a look at packages like listings or minted.
