Known Fact:
Have read this LaTeX complaining about illegal parameter number
With a Verbatim environment, every LaTeX commands will be handled as plain text. However, I need a working command in the Verbatim.
Objective:
I have a sample.cls file that will be \VerbatimInput to a main .tex file so that I can refer to later in the main file for explanations once it is read in. What follows is the code I used to input sample.cls
\fvset{frame=none,numbers=left,numbersep=3pt,firstline=1,lastline=20}
\VerbatimInput[commandchars=+\[\]]{sample.cls}
and an image after read in is shown below (The sample.cls is a makeshift here containing the following lines.)
For example, the block between line (9) and line (13) is what I am refering to. Notice that the label format I used in sample.cls are +label[vrb:test1] and +label[vrb:test2], which are not seen here due to being two control sequences in the Verbertim environment.
The referring scheme by inserting a command in the Verbatim structure works fine, but LaTeX complains those commands because they are embedded in the sample.cls that the main file needs (in use.)
In short the labels, +label[vrb:test1] and +label[vrb:test2], are equivalent to acting commands \label{vrb:test1} and \label{vrb:test1} in the Verbatim environment, but LaTeX renders errors.
Question:
Although hitting ENTER key can still finish the compilation, I am writing to seek help solving this dilemma (i.e., no need to hit ENTER key) and how to avoid these contradictions.
