Document Classes ⇒ beamer alltt in color

[basile starynkevitch]

Hello All

(This is my first post).

I am preparing slides for pdflatex and beamer (on Linux/Ubuntu/Karmic) on my MELT. So I need to show both C code fragments and Lisp-like cod fragments. I am using the alltt package (I don't want to change that to e.g. listings, because I have many examples in an LLNCS paper submission), and I want to show in different colors C code and Lisp code.

So I have code like

Code: Select all

\documentclass[svgnames]{beamer}
\usepackage{alltt}
\newenvironment{mycfrag}{\color{DarkMagenta}\begin{alltt}}{\end{alltt}}

in my preamble, and then later in the slides

Code: Select all

\begin{mycfrag}
\textbf{struct} \{ melt\_t objclass;
  ushort objnum, objlent;
\end{mycfrag}

And my issue is that while the color is indeed set, the alltt does not seems to work anymore: a newline in the source is not translated into a newline in the slides.

Any clues?

Respectful regards.

Solved with

Code: Select all

\begin{frame}[containsverbatim]
