I prefer this code to the standard % \package{verbatim} package (by Rainer Sch\"opf et al.)\ although I'm % biased. % % The package was written to fulfil a particular purpose: I wanted to be able % to typeset ARM assembler code, 77~columns wide, on A5~paper, with the % fields separated by \textit{tab} characters. It's grown up fairly % organically from that, and I've tidied it when I've seen the code get too % ugly. % % The current features are: % % \begin{itemize} % % \item A `listing' environment which typesets verbatim text nicely. % % \item A command to read verbatim text from an external file. % % \item Support for arbitrary-sized chunks of text without overflowing \TeX's % memory. % % \item Support for \textit{tab} characters in the verbatim text. % % \item An environment for typesetting demonstrations of \LaTeX\ markup. % % \item It all works correctly with the \package{doc} system for documenting % \LaTeX\ packages. % % \item A fairly hairy but quite powerful programmer interface to the yukky % bits of the package. % % \end{itemize} % % The interface is described in its own section, so that more timid readers % can avoid it. That said, some of the stuff in this section gets rather % technical. % % Note that this package doesn't even try to do anything with short bits of % verbatim text (as handled by the |\verb:...:| command). I have a separate % package (\package{syntax}) which does all sorts of horrible things along % those lines. % % \subsection{The \env{listing} environment} % % \DescribeEnv{listing} % The main method for typesetting verbatim text is the \env{listing} % environment. This works pretty much the same as the standard % \env{verbatim} environment, with some exceptions, which are described % below. % % So that you know exactly what you're getting, here are the rules by which % \package{sverb} decides what the verbatim text actually is: % % \begin{itemize} % % \item If there's any text, other than spaces, on the same line as the % `|\begin{listing}|', then the contents of the environment begins % immediately after the closing brace (with all leading spaces % preserved). Otherwise, the text begins on the following line. % % \item If there is any text, other than spaces, before the % `|\end{listing}|', but on the same line, this is considered to be the % last line of the text; otherwise the text is presumed to have ended % at the end of the previous line. % % \item Any text following the |\end{listing}| on the same line is thrown % away. There are good reasons for this, but they're technical. % Essentially there's nothing I can do about it. % % \end{itemize} % % \begin{figure} % \begin{demo}[w]{The \env{listing} environment} %\dots in the following code: % %\begin{listing} %init MOV R0,#200 ;Version 2.00 please % LDR R1,=&4B534154 ;Magic number (`TASK') % ADR R2,appName ;Find application name % SWI Wimp_Initialise ;Register as a WIMP task %\end{listing} % %The next step is to \dots % \end{demo} % \end{figure} % % Tab characters are supported within the environment: tab stops are set % every eighth column, although this can be modified. % % \subsubsection{Configuring the \env{listing} environment} % % The text size used in the \env{listing} environment is set by the % |\listingsize| command. By default, this is set to |\small|, although you % can redefine it in the document preamble, or it can be set in the document % class. % % The amount by which the listing text is indented is controlled by the % |\listingindent| length parameter. This is a fixed length, whose default % value is 1\,em. % % \subsubsection{Choosing a different end-text} % % \DescribeEnv{listing*} % The \env{listing} environment is terminated by the exact character sequence % `|\end{listing}|'. This isn't too much of a problem, unless you want to % include this string in the text. This is achieved by the \env{listing$*$} % environment, which allows you to specify the end-text to find as an % argument. % % For example: % % \begin{demo}{The \env{listing$*$} environment} %Type a listing as follows: % %\begin{listing*}{} %\begin{listing} %This is a listing. Yes. %\end{listing} % %\end{demo} % % Don't include `special' characters in your chosen end-text unless you know % what you're doing. % % \subsection{Writing text to a file} % % \DescribeEnv{verbwrite} % You can write verbatim text to a file using the \env{verbwrite} % environment. The syntax is fairly straightforward: % % \begin{quote} % \syntax{"\\begin{verbwrite}{""}" \dots "\\end{verbwrite}"} % \end{quote} % % The text of the environment is written to the named file. The rules about % where the text actually starts and ends are the same as for the % \env{listing} environment. % % There is also a $*$-variant, like \env{listing$*$}, which allows you to % choose the end-text. The end-text is the first argument, the filename % comes second. % % There is a restriction on the characters you can write to the file: they % must all be considered `printable' by \TeX; otherwise they will be read % back in as `\syntax{"^^"}' which isn't too good. Unfortunately, % this includes tab characters, so you can't write them.\footnote{^^A % Well, not without doing serious surgery on \TeX\ itself, anyway. } % % \iffalse [Example time... Ho hum. There is evilness here.] \fi %\begin{verbwrite*}{}{wrdemo1.tmp} %\begin{verbwrite}{wrdemo.tmp} %This is some text written to %a file near the beginning of %the file. %\end{verbwrite} % % % For example: \verbinput{wrdemo1.tmp} % % \input{wrdemo1.tmp} \iffalse [Now build the file ;-) ] \fi % % \subsection{The \cmd\verbinput\ command} % % \DescribeMacro{\verbinput} % You can input a pre-prepared text file exactly as it is in the input using % the |\verbinput| command. The filename is given as an argument. For % example: % % \begin{demo}{The \cmd\verbinput\ command} %\verbinput{wrdemo.tmp} % \end{demo} % % \subsection{The \env{demo} environment} % % Package authors need to document their packages, and it's common to want % to display examples showing the original text and the output side-by-side % (or, when space doesn't permit this, one above the other). Both the % \LaTeX\ book and \textit{The \LaTeX\ Companion} contain such examples. % % The \env{demo} environment allows such displays to be created easily. The % syntax of the environment is as follows: % % \begin{quote} % \syntax{"\\begin{demo}[""]{""}" \dots "\\end{demo}"} % \end{quote} % % The optional \synt{shape} argument can be either `|w|' (wide), or `|n|' % (narrow). A `wide' shape places the input and output one above the other, % while the `narrow' shape puts them side-by-side. The default shape is % `narrow'. An attractive border is drawn around the display to finish it % off nicely. % % An example: % %\begin{demo*}{<end-demo>}[w]{The \env{demo} environment} %\begin{demo}{From the \textit{\TeX book}} %\[ \sum_{p\;\rm prime} % f(p) = \int_{t>1} % f(t)\,{\rm d}\pi(t) \] %\end{demo} %<end-demo> % % \DescribeEnv{demo*} % As with the other environments created by this package, there's a % $*$-variant which takes the end-text as an argument. % % % \section{Programmer interface} % % This section describes the publicly available routines provided by the % \package{sverb} package. Routines not described here are libable to be % changed or even removed without warning, so don't use them. % % \subsection{Environment hooks} % % Each of the environments created here works in the same way. For each % environment \env{foo}, there's a main command responsible for doing the % work, called |\sv@foo|. This is given all the arguments of the normal % environment, and two more: % % \begin{itemize} % % \item The `end-text' to search for, which marks the end of the environment. % % \item Some actions to perform after the text has been read and processed. % This allows the calling macro to do some extra actions, like closing % boxes, etc. % % \end{itemize} % % All the environments do is call the main command with appropriate % arguments. % % \subsection{Reading the verbatim text} % % \DescribeMacro{\sv@read} % The main scanning routine is |\sv@read|. It is called with three % arguments: % % \begin{itemize} % % \item The end-text marking the end of the environment. % % \item The name of a macro (which must be a single token) which is called % with a line of text as its single argument. This is given each % line of text which is read from the environment in turn. % % \item A macro, or other sort of action, which is to be done when the text % has been read and processed. % % \end{itemize} % % The macro |\sv@read| assumes that the caller has already made some % provision for removing the category codes of the following text, by either % calling |\@verbatim| or using the construction % \begin{listing} %\let\do=\@makeother %\dospecials % \end{listing} % % \DescribeMacro{\sv@safespc} % Note that any space characters you read using |\sv@read| will be catcoded % as |\active|. Normally this is OK because |\obeyspaces| (or % |\@vobeyspaces|) will be in effect. If you're doing something more exotic, % like writing text to a file or building a command string, you can call % |\sv@safespc| which defines the active-space character to be a normal % whitespace-space when expanded. % % \implementation % % \section{Implementation} % % This section defines several macros and environments which allow verbatim % typing, with a high degree of configurability. OK, so this sort of % thing's been done so often before that it isn't true, but I don't really % care. % % \begin{macrocode} %<*package> % \end{macrocode} % % \subsection{Simple things} % % To help us build funny macros which involve strange and different category % codes, I'll write some simple macros which I can use while building my % complicated and clever ones. % % \begin{macro}{\@cspecials} % % This macro is used to assist the definition of some of the environments. % It makes `|\|', `|{|' and `|}|' into `other' characters, and replaces them % with `\verb"|"', `|<|' and `|>|' respectively. Note that `|[|' and `|]|' % aren't used, because they make defining commands which take optional % arguments awkward. Note that we open a group here. This should be closed % using \verb"|endgroup" at the end of the special section. % % \begin{macrocode} \def\@cspecials{% \begingroup% \catcode`|0% \catcode`<1% \catcode`>2% \catcode`\{12% \catcode`\}12% \catcode`\\12% } % \end{macrocode} % \end{macro} % % \begin{macro}{\sv@startlisting} % % This macro sets everything up nicely for a \env{listing}-type verbatim % environment. % % \begin{macrocode} \def\sv@startlisting{% \def\par{\@@par\penalty\interlinepenalty}% \@@par% \leftskip\@totalleftmargin% \obeylines% \@noligs% \let\do\@makeother\dospecials% \verbatim@font% \frenchspacing% \@vobeyspaces% \settabwidth% \catcode9\active% \lccode`\~9\lowercase{\let~\sv@vtab}% \lccode`\~13\lowercase{\let~\vinput@cr}% \interlinepenalty500% } % \end{macrocode} % % \end{macro} % % \subsection{Tab character handling} % % One of the things we want to do here is handle tab characters properly. % (Here, `properly' means `moving to the next column which is a multiple of % eight', the way these things were always meant to.) % % \begin{macro}{\settabwidth} % % The tabs used by our tabbed verbatim environments are set up by this % routine. It sets the tab width parameter |\svtab| to 8 times the width % of a |\tt| space. If you really want, you can redefine this macro. % % \begin{macrocode} \newdimen\svtab \def\settabwidth{\setbox\z@\hbox{\texttt{\space}}\svtab8\wd\z@} % \end{macrocode} % % \end{macro} % % \begin{macro}{\sv@vtab} % % Here we handle tabs inside verbatim environments. We expect each line to % be typeset as a box, using something like % % \begin{listing} %\setbox0\hbox{#1} %\leavevmode %\box0 %\par % \end{listing} % % The idea is that you make tab active, and set it to this macro. We stop % the current box, stretch it to the right width, and start another one % straight after, so nobody know the difference.

This works well-ish if % the text isn't very long. A better solution would be to pick out the text % line-by-line and process it like that. So this is what we do. % % \begin{macro}{\matcher} % % For long verbatim environments, we need to be able to find the end text. % This is rather tricky. The solution here is rather horrible. The % environment picks out each line of the text at a time, as an argument, and % tests to see if it contains the text we're after. We do the test in a % particularly yukky way: we add the actual target text to the end of the % line, and inspect the text following the match to see if the match is at % the end. % % The |\matcher| macro creates a `matcher' which will test strings to see if % they contain something interesting. % % To create a matcher, say % \syntax{"\\matcher{"<cmd-name>"}{"<target>"}{"<process-cmd>"}"}. The % command \synt{cmd-name} accepts a line of text as an argument and calls % the \synt{process-cmd} with the text of the line before the match, or the % whole lot. It also sets |\@ifmatched| appropriately. % % (Having spent ages coming up with this cruft myself, I found some very % similar, but slightly better, code in Appendix~D. So I've changed mine to % match Donald's. Anyway, credit where it's due: cheers Don.) % % \begin{macrocode} \newif\if@matched \def\matcher#1#2#3{% \expandafter\def\csname\string#1$match\endcsname##1#2##2##3\end{% \ifx##2\relax% \@matchedfalse% \else% \@matchedtrue% \fi% #3{##1}% }% \expandafter\def\expandafter#1\expandafter##\expandafter1\expandafter{% \csname\string#1$match\endcsname##1#2\relax\end% }% } % \end{macrocode} % % \end{macro} % % \begin{macro}{\sv@stripspc} % % This macro strips any trailing glue in the current horizontal list.

To % allow the package documentation to demonstrate the \env{demo} environment % itself, we need to keep a nesting count.
