    copied!<p>I'm currently writing a project report, and to explain the slightly crazy un-intuitive code that I've used I need to put lots and lots of short excerpts of example code in.</p> <p>How I can get code into LaTeX that:</p> <ul> <li>looks nice</li> <li>doesn't go off the side of the page if the line's too long (list lstlisting or verbatim)</li> <li>is preferably inline with the rest of the text</li> </ul> <p>EDITED (Figured I'd add the settings so people don't have to try and figure them out themselves (taken from wikibooks (link further down) and edited for niceness))</p> <p>Nice settings:</p> <pre><code>\usepackage{color} \usepackage{listings} \lstset{ % language=C++, % choose the language of the code basicstyle=\footnotesize, % the size of the fonts that are used for the code numbers=left, % where to put the line-numbers numberstyle=\footnotesize, % the size of the fonts that are used for the line-numbers stepnumber=1, % the step between two line-numbers. If it is 1 each line will be numbered numbersep=5pt, % how far the line-numbers are from the code backgroundcolor=\color{white}, % choose the background color. You must add \usepackage{color} showspaces=false, % show spaces adding particular underscores showstringspaces=false, % underline spaces within strings showtabs=false, % show tabs within strings adding particular underscores frame=single, % adds a frame around the code tabsize=2, % sets default tabsize to 2 spaces captionpos=b, % sets the caption-position to bottom breaklines=true, % sets automatic line breaking breakatwhitespace=false, % sets if automatic breaks should only happen at whitespace escapeinside={\%*}{*)} % if you want to add a comment within your code } \begin{lstlisting} !!code!! \end{lstlisting} </code></pre> <p>An example of these settings:</p> <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/VqQPo.png" alt=""></p>
