Hi all, i would like to know suggestions on how can I write an explicative text of LaTeX using LaTeX. Till now I use \verb!SomeLatexinstruction! when i need to write an instruction. There are other solutions, that looks more elegantly?

Answer 1

see package listings=> run texdoc listings

Answer 2

If you want to show some LaTeX code side by side with its output, the showexpl package may be of some use here.

Answer 3

The minted package.

Answer 4

Take a look at the shortvrb package, too. For example \MakeShortVerb{|} will offer the notation |SomeLaTeXinstruction|.
