General ⇒ nopagebreak problem

[zeev]

I'm trying to create a new environment for my own code samples. The idea is to make it a non-float, multi-page listing, and then number it just as if it was a float and put a caption underneath. I got this to work, except that in some cases the caption goes to the next page despite all the \nopagebreaks.

A common solution is to use \begin{samepage}...\end{samepage}; however, in my case this won't work as this is a multi-page listing.

For now I'm putting a \begin{verbatim}...\end{verbatim} inside the \begin{largecodesample} in the doc. How can I get LaTeX to prefer to do a page break inside the Verbatim environment, but not between Verbatim and the caption?

This is what I have. You can see how I get desperate with all the \nopagebreak...

Thanks

Code: Select all

\newenvironment{largecodesample}[1]%
{
    \stepcounter{CodeSampleCounter}
    \global\def\codetitle{#1}
    \global\def\mytitle{Code Sample \arabic{CodeSampleCounter}{}: {#1}}
    \begin{shaded}
    \renewcommand\label[1]{\@bsphack
    \protected@write\@auxout{}%
         {\string\newlabel{##1}{{\arabic{CodeSampleCounter}}{\thepage}}}%
    \@esphack}
}
{\nopagebreak
\end{shaded}
\nopagebreak
\begin{center}
\nopagebreak
\textbf{\mytitle}
\end{center}
    \addtocontents{spl}{\protect\contentsline {subsection}%
	{\mytitle\relax}{\thepage}}
}

For code listings you can use the listings package. Putting that into an own float environment is made possible by the float or trivfloat package. These packages also create the corresponding lists similar to LoF and LoT.
