Formatting code in LaTex is as astonishingly easy, once one knows how to do it.
There is a command “tabbing”, which is used in the same way as for example “centering”, except that one has to tell the computer where to set a tab.
\begin{tabbing}
if \= (condition) \{ \\ % inserts a tab just after the "if"-command.
\> then statement \=\\ % go to the defined tab and set a new one
\}\\
else \{ \\
\> else statement \> next tab is here\\
\}\\
\end{tabbing}
Copy-paste the code into your LaTex-file and see yourself.
One can use as many \> in a sequence as needed, as long as enough tabs have been defined before.
E.g.
\begin{tabbing}
o \= o \= o\\
o \> \> o\\
o \> o \> o\\
\end{tabbing}
Another way to just format your code if you already have it in a “tabbed” version is to use “verbatim”.
\begin{verbatim}
Your code goes here.
\end{verbatim}
Thanks very much! Been searching for how write C++ code as is in a latex file awhile (i guess searching for “latex” and “code” was never likely to turn up the right pages…)
Kudos
For the last line of the second last example shouldn’t you have used:
o \> o \> o\\… or am I misunderstanding something?
You are right, thanks! Tom.
Thanks for this. Linking to something like http://kb.mit.edu/confluence/display/ist/How+to+use+Tabs+in+LaTeX might clarify matters a little bit.
