General ⇒ parameter passing to \verb|| environment

[csmgroup]

I happen to write the following code over and over again.

Code: Select all

1
{\color{blue}\verb|>|} {\footnotesize\verb|HI|}
 
 
הההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההה
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

So, I came up with the following code to make it a command.

Code: Select all

\newcommand{\result}[2]{%
{\color{#1}\verb|>|} {\footnotesize\verb|#2|} 
}

Run LaTeX here

The problem is that the result is not what I expected, there are '|' characters attached.
What might be wrong? I need to have the verbatim environment kept as the result can contain some characters something like $, \ ...

Do you really need to use \verb here rather than e.g., \texttt? I think that would solve your problem.

Thanks for the answer, I agree to use \texttt for this purpose.
