General ⇒ Indented text for code example

[leireaz]

Hi!

I need to add in a report a piece of code i wrote in matlab. I though I could do that with \begin{quote} ... \end{quote}. The problem is that it doesn't keep the indentation. Does anyone know how to make the text as it looks like in matlab?

Thanks

The listings packages could be useful as well as some of the suggestions that Juanjo made on this other thread.

Thanks for your reply, gmedina.

I was wondering if there was an environment that could recognize the indentation, but I guess that I have to do it manually.

Thanks again

Of course there is such environment, take a look at the following example:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}

\begin{document}

\begin{verbatim}
text
  text
    text
      text 
\end{verbatim}

\end{document}

I suggested the listings package because it helps you to typeset programming code within LaTeX.

Thank you very much!

That is exactly what I was looking for!
