Fonts & Character Sets ⇒ Bold text in verbatim

[enrique]

Hello,

I hope I'm posting this in the correct forum.

I am totally new to Latex. I am writing documentation for a program library and would like to emphasize (preferably in bold) some program lines, I am using verbatim to enter the program I want to show. In the following sample document I would like to have the second line of code stand out.

This is what the sample document looks like

Code: Select all

\documentclass[12pt,a4paper]{article}
\usepackage[latin1]{inputenc}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{amsfonts}
\usepackage{amssymb}
\author{Enrique Nivasch}
\begin{document}
\begin{verbatim}
First line in plain text (actually C# code)
***This line should be bold***
Last line again in plain text
\end{verbatim}
How do I do that?
\end{document}

BTW, I tried using alltt but for some reason some of my code doesn't show up in the final document.

Thanks,
Enrique

This works for me:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{alltt}
\renewcommand{\ttdefault}{txtt}
\begin{document}
Here's some code:
\begin{alltt}
First line in plain text (actually C# code)
\textbf{***This line should be bold***}
Last line again in plain text
\end{alltt}
\end{document}

Thanks, it works and I found why most of my program had disappeared. It turns out that the curly braces confused alltt, by preceding each brace with a backslash alltt works well.
