center /verbatim text in /figure

Question

I'm trying to center a the content of a figure that has verbatim text in it, but the verbatim text is always right-aligned:

\begin{figure}
  \centering
  \begin{verbatim}
  some
  text
  here
  \end{verbatim}
  \caption{I wish this were centered}
\end{figure}

Answer 1

The verbatimbox package also does this. Here's your example done that way:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{verbatimbox}
\begin{document}

\begin{verbbox}
  some
  text
  here
\end{verbbox}
\begin{figure}
  \centering
  \theverbbox
  \caption{I wish this were centered}
\end{figure}
\end{document}
