Here is a solution. It doesn't call the caption "Code Fragment 1" as you wanted. I tried redefining the figure counter as follows \def\thefigure{Code fragment \arabic{figure}.} but this gives "Figure Code Fragment 1" which isn't nice. Notice what the main problem is here: you have to end your code fragment with a \end{verbatim} and an \end{code} because verbatim only stops when it finds an \end{verbatim}. Unless you really want to use a figure environment, I'd go for something like solution 2 because tables and figures (where the \caption has to live) have a nasty habit of floating to the wrong part of a page. Solution 1: \documentstyle[12pt]{report} \newenvironment{code}[1]% {\def\CAPTION{#1}\begin{figure}[h]\begin{verbatim}}% {\caption{\CAPTION}\end{figure}} \begin{document} Some innocent innocuous pieces of tex blaah \begin{code}{A lovely caption} Some code ##!&^%&*^%!()*&! 09840938234#$!%$#! \end{verbatim}\end{code} More innocent text. \end{document} Solution 2: \documentstyle[12pt]{report} \newcounter{Code} \newenvironment{code}[1]% {\def\CAPTION{#1}\begin{verbatim}}% {\addtocounter{Code}{1}% \centerline{Code fragment \theCode.\qquad\CAPTION}} \begin{document} Some innocent innocuous pieces of tex blaah \begin{code}{A lovely caption} Some code ##!&^%&*^%!()*&! 09840938234#$!%$#! \end{verbatim}\end{code} More innocent text. \end{document} Have fun! Andrew - smile at a stranger today and help make the world a better place. while you're, at it, why not also hug a friend!

people who spend lots of time hacking at enhancements of LaTeX's
verbatim environment would probably be interested in Rainer Schoepf's
rewrite of the whole thing, which *does* permit its inclusion in new
environments. I think Don Hosek has the package at Claremont; it is
certainly part of the UK TeX Archive.
