I use listings as the verbatim enviroment. However, I get the "Dimension too large" error with very long lines. The following is a sample code.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{listings}

\begin{document}
\begin{lstlisting}[
numbers=left, breaklines, breakautoindent=false, breakindent=0pt
]
Very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very long content...
\end{lstlisting}
\end{document}

The following is the error message.

Dimension too large. ...ry very very very very very long content...

    Not really surprising: your line is far too long! (listings will break lines but has first to set them at the natural size.) I find it hard to believe your code really has such poorly-defined line breaks: is this really the case?

    @JosephWright Yes and, in fact, the real case is even longer! The content is not written by some programming language, instead it is the output of my program. Dec 21, 2015 at 8:18

    Perhaps displaying this output with listings or a verbatim environment is not the right way to do then!

    @JosephWright Some weeks ago I came across a line with 26.825 chars written by pgfplots: sourceforge.net/p/pgfplots/bugs/97. So 2700 isn't sooo long ;-). Dec 21, 2015 at 9:39

    @ChristianHupfer Maybe you are right, but I didn't find better solutions. I will appreciate any advices. Dec 21, 2015 at 10:07
