| \noindent{} This is where \LaTeX{} shows its power, as environments are used to to take care of typesetting tasks. Every environment begins with \verb+\begin{<environ+ \verb+ment>}+ and ends with \verb+\end{<environment>}+. In fact, we've already seen one environment: the \texttt{document} environment, which encompasses our entire document.  | ||||

| \section{Displaying Code} | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| You have a few different options when trying to display code. For code which is not executable, you can always format it as typewriter text by wrapping it in \verb+\texttt{code}+. This will, generally, display it in a sans-serif font. | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| The problem with this approach is that \LaTeX{} will attempt to execute any commands that you have included in that wrapper. An alternative to this is to use the \verb+\verb+ command. \verb+\verb+ does not need to use curly brackets (i.e., { and }) to contain its argument. Rather, it can contain its argument in between any two symbols which are \textit{not} contained it its argument. Two common options are the pipe symbol (\texttt{|}) and the plus sign (\texttt{+}). For example, to write \verb+verb+ in our document, we could include either \verb+\verb|\verb|+ in our file or \verb|\verb+\verb+|. We could just as easily write this as \verb2\verb4\verb42. In this case, the character ``4'' is used as a delimiter to indicate what should be output directly to the document. | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| As usefule as \verb+\verb+ is, it has one drawback: it does not wrap. That is, if whatever you place between the delimiters is longer than the line length, it will simply go off the page. Here's an example: \verb+verb|This text is longer than the line length and will simply go off the page|+.  | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| The only way around that is to break that text into two part like this:  | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| \begin{verbatim} | ||||
| \verb|This text is longer| \\ \verb|than the line length and w | ||||
| ill simply go off the page| | ||||
| \end{verbatim} | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| 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}. For more information, see the section ``\nameref{codeexp}'' on page \pageref{codeexp}.  | ||||
