automatic line break within verbatim-environment
Hans Balsam
I'm looking for a way to combine the features of the verbatim-
environment
and LaTeX's automatic line breaking.
I've found the following thread
http://groups.google.it/group/comp.text.tex/browse_thread/thread/a15a9ed113a3939c/8b8f03337a51282c?
It is suggested to use the package listings.
However, when I include \usepackage{listings} and compile afterwards
I receive no error messages but the output are 0 pages.
Without \usepackage{listings} the compilation works fine and my
document is 20 pages long.
Any suggestions are most appreciated!

Hello,
please provide an MWE. Normally the listings package works just fine.

Replace “READ-MY-SIG” by “tcalveu” to answer by mail.

Here we go:
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\documentclass{report}
\begin{document}
This is a minimal example.
\end{document}
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
The above example compiles with 1 page.
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\documentclass{report}
\usepackage{listings}
\begin{document}
This is a minimal example.
\end{document}
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
The second example compiles with 0 pages.

What does the log file say, in the second case?

No problem here.

Upgrade your MiKTeX distribution. As far as I can see you are trying
to use different versions of the listings bundle: the main style file
is version 1.0, while ltpatch.sty is version 1.2.

You may also try the following:
\makeatletter
\def\@xobeysp{ }
\makeatother
This redefines \@xobeysp, to which the space character is \let in
verbatim text, to a normal space instead of an unbreakable space. Then
you can use the usual "verbatim" environment.

Wow! Thank you!
That's a very elegant solution! It does work and I don't have to
bother
with dealing with listings.sty at all.

Well, I have another question related to my previous one. Now,
following
Paul's aka zappathustra's above my "verbatim" environment has an
automatic line break.
And here is a follow-up question:
I would like a "verbatim"-environment within a sentence.
Example:
This is an example and I want \begin{verbatim}TO_BE_LEFT_IN_THIS_LINE
\end{verbatim}
to be left in this line.
But the result is that there is a new line started. So the output
looks
like:
This is an example and I want
TO_BE_LEFT_IN_THIS_LINE
to be left in this line.
However, I want the output to be:
This is an example and I want TO_BE_LEFT_IN_THIS_LINE to be left in
this line.
How can I achieve that?
Thanks!
Hans Balsam
Never mind! I've just found the answer:
This is an example and I want \verb+TO_LEFT_IN_THIS_LINE+ to be left
in
this line.
Thanks anyway!
