 It works, but it's clunky. If you change anything around those two \texttt{verb} commands, you'll need to adjust what is contained within each of them.
 
-For longer code examples, you will need to use the built-in environment \texttt{verbatim}. To gain more control over those environments, you will need to use the package \texttt{fancyvrb} (which uses the \texttt{Verbatim} environment—note the capital letter). Need even more control than the \texttt{fancyvrb} package gives you? Try the \texttt{fvextra} package. (I used it because it very nicely breaks lines inside this environment.)
+For longer code examples, you will need to use the built-in environment \texttt{verbatim}, which makes use of the \verb|\begin{verbatim}| and \verb|\end{verbatim}| commands to define the environment. 
 
+To gain more control over those environments, you can use the package \texttt{fancyvrb} (which uses the \texttt{Verbatim} environment—note the capital letter). You can add options in square brackets after the \texttt{begin} command. For example, to format the example blocks in this document, I am using this code:
+
+\begin{Verbatim}[frame=lines, numbers=left, xleftmargin=5mm, label=\fbox{Verbatim Example}, framesep=6mm, breaklines=true, commandchars=\+\(\)]
+\begin{Verbatim}[frame=lines, numbers=left, xleftmargin=5mm, label=\fbox{Bullets Example}, framesep=6mm]
+\begin{itemize}[noitemsep]
+	\item[$\Box$] First item
+	\item[$\aleph$] Second item
+	\item[$\triangle$] Third item
+\end{itemize}
+\ +!+!+!+!+!+! end{Verbatim}
+\end{Verbatim}
+
+Here's a brief breakdown of what those options do:
+
+\begin{itemize}[noitemsep]
+	\item \texttt{frame=lines} puts a line at the top and bottom of the code block. Other options are \texttt{leftline}, \texttt{topline}, \texttt{bottomline}, and \texttt{single} (which puts a box around the code block).
+	\item \texttt{numbers=left} adds line numbers to the left side of the code block.
+	\item \texttt{xleftmargin=5mm} adds a five millimeter margin to the left side, so that the line numbers are not hanging off into space.
+	\item \texttt{label=} adds a label to the top of the code block. Putting it in an \texttt{fbox} adds a border around it.
+\end{itemize}
+
+There are numerous other options in this package; please see the package documentation for more details
+
+The \texttt{fvextra} package adds even more options for the \texttt{Verbatim} environment. Again, there are too many to list here; please see the package documentation, which is extensive. 
+
+If you still need even more options, you can try the \texttt{listings} package, which I have yet to try.
