I am new to TeX and I am starting out with LaTeX (sorry, no holography on _this_ terminal).... Is there a way of having verbatim but have it execute the commands within (ie. \tt + carriage returns + imbedded italics and boldface) ??? I am trying to convert a Scribe document to LaTeX and even with the scribe-TeX filter (which doesn't do too much), I am having a hard time. Thanks in advance for any help! G.

Stop thinking of this as `verbatim' (clearly it is not!) and the solution becomes obvious. Tell LaTeX to use \tt, obey line breaks (but see the suggestion in The LaTeXbook as to why not), and obey spaces. In Plain TeX (my LaTeX is uncertain): {\tt \obeyspaces \obeylines text...} -- In-Real-Life: Chris Torek, Univ of MD Computer Science, +1 301 454 7163 (hiding out on trantor.umd.edu until mimsy is reassembled in its new home) Domain: chris@mimsy.umd.edu Path: not easily reachable
