I am trying to typeset some program fragments in typewriter style. At
the moment I do this by defining a new (LaTeX) tabbing environment and
then doing things like
\begin{program}
\>{\tt TYPE} \\
\>\>{\tt T1 = PRODUCT} \\
\>\>\>{\tt f1 : word} \\
\>\>\>{\tt f2 : word} \\
\>\>{\tt END}
\>{\tt END}
\end{program}
(1) There must be an easier way of doing this, and I'd appreciate it if
you could let me in on the secret;
(2) The single space between each colon and the following 'word' gets
expanded to what looks like something between 1.5 and 2 spaces.
Why is this happening? And what can be done about it? (This is also
happening with 'c ! e' and 'c ? v'.
I must have program fragments in typewriter style in order to distinguish
them from other examples which may be mistaken for program fragments.

No space is added in the verbatim environment though. -- -- Joakim Sernbrant, Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm, Sweden -- Internet: d87-jse@nada.kth.se --

Sounds like end of sentence space is being inserted. \frenchspacing will fix this, or better still... > (1) There must be an easier way of doing this, and I'd appreciate it if > you could let me in on the secret; ...use the verbatim environment. This will enable you to insert program fragments unmodified from the program source. I like to use a modified version of verbatim that sets \tt in 10pt with \baselineskip=10pt (the main text is standard 12pt roman).
bts@sas.UUCP (Brian T. Schellenberger) (07/13/89)
Use \frenchspacing to avoid the extra space after `:' (and `.', `!', & `?').
Why not use \verbatim? Otherwise, why not define a "ttprogram" environment
which does \frenchspacing and \tt after a \begin{program}?

Actually, I do know about the verbatim environment (don't have tgrind though). The reason for my original posting was that I did not (and still do not) know how to change margins within an environment. Ideally, I would like to use verbatim, but with the left margin increased by \mathindent (2.5em I think). No change to right margin. And here's another question: How can I draw a box around a figure? Tried \framebox but it keeps keeling over with a message about not being in outer par mode, or something like that.

Verbatim is defined as follows \def\verbatim{\@verbatim \frenchspacing\@vobeyspaces \@xverbatim} Changing this to: \def\verbatim{\advance\@totalleftmargin by \mathindent \@verbatim \frenchspacing\@vobeyspaces \@xverbatim} in a style option file might do the trick. > And here's another question: How can I draw a box around a figure?
