If you're not interested in a specific formatting of the scripts, then you can use the fancyvrb
package to adjust the code location. Here's an example that indents the entire code by 2\parindent
(twice the standard \parindent
) for a consistent horizontal alignment across scripts:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{lipsum}% http://ctan.org/pkg/lipsum
\usepackage{fancyvrb}% http://ctan.org/pkg/fancyvrb
\fvset{xleftmargin=2\parindent}
\begin{document}
\lipsum[1]
\begin{Verbatim}
kmeans=: 3 :0
Nr=: $,smp
dis=: %: @ +/"1(initial -"1/ grid)^ 2
index=:(|:dis) i."1 (,.<./"1 (|:dis))
\end{Verbatim}
\lipsum[2]
\end{document}
Using something like a verbatim
environment (or Verbatim
as provided by fancyvrb
) removes the need to escape characters that are otherwise treated differently inside regular text. Moreover, the default font used it \ttfamily
(this can be changed).
For actually centering the content, fancyvrb
also allows you to capture the content in a box which provides the means to move it around:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{lipsum}% http://ctan.org/pkg/lipsum
\usepackage{fancyvrb}% http://ctan.org/pkg/fancyvrb
\usepackage{xcolor}% http://ctan.org/pkg/xcolor
\begin{document}
\lipsum[1]
\begin{SaveVerbatim}{code}
kmeans=: 3 :0
Nr=: $,smp
dis=: %: @ +/"1(initial -"1/ grid)^ 2
index=:(|:dis) i."1 (,.<./"1 (|:dis))
\end{SaveVerbatim}
\begin{center}
\fcolorbox{red!60!black}{white}{\BUseVerbatim{code}}
\end{center}
\lipsum[2]
\end{document}
For formatting options, you should consider using the listings
package.
