SUMMARY

Entering code in LaTeX documents can be accomplished using the \verb|...| command for inline code and the \verb|\begin{verbatim}...\end{verbatim}| environment for larger blocks of code. The inline command allows for quick formatting of single lines, while the verbatim environment is ideal for multi-line code snippets. These methods ensure that code is displayed correctly without LaTeX interpreting it as regular text.

PREREQUISITES
  • Familiarity with LaTeX syntax
  • Understanding of inline and block formatting
  • Basic knowledge of mathematical notation in LaTeX
  • Experience with LaTeX document compilation
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the \verb|listings| package for advanced code formatting in LaTeX
  • Learn about syntax highlighting options in LaTeX
  • Explore the use of the \verb|minted| package for code inclusion
  • Investigate best practices for documenting code in LaTeX
USEFUL FOR

Researchers, academics, and technical writers who need to include code snippets in their LaTeX documents will benefit from this discussion.

Hi dwsmith, :)

One way to do this is to surround your text with \verb|...| command. Examples,

\[\verb|$y=2x+1$|\]

\[\verb|\prod_{i=m}^{\infty}x_{i}=\lim_{n\to\infty}\prod_{i=m}^{n}x_{i}|\]

For larger portions of text use the \(\verb|\begin{verbatim}...\end{verbatim}|\) environment. Kind Regards,
Sudharaka.
