\verb char literal_text char
or
\verb*char literal_text char
Typesets literal_text
exactly as typed,
including special characters
and spaces, using a typewriter (\tt
) font. There may be no
space between \verb
or \verb*
and char
(space is shown here only for
clarity). The *-form differs only in that spaces are printed
as "visual" spaces, i.e., a short, squat "u".
Any char
except a space (or a *
for the \verb
form) may be chosen as the delimiter. Thus, the input
\verb1This!is?the##1 verbatim ...would produce
This!is?the##
verbatim ...
The \verb
command may not be used in the argument
of another command. For example, it cannot be used in the text of a
sectioning command.
