Hello All,

I have been using lore for a project that I have been working on, and it is a great tool.

I have a quick question. Does anyone know how to get the <pre>...</pre> tags to appear as shaded on the latex/pdf output?

The generated latex looks like

\begin{verbatim} is being output at the start of the pre

and=20

\end{verbatim} is being output at the end of the pre.

I am trying to get the same output format as html output.

I hacked up the latex spitter to allow me to change the latex, I recommend reading the 'extending lore' part of the howtos if this doesn't provide you enough context. What this following code (that I use) does is puts a box around the verbatim text:

in my spitters.py:

class LivewiresLatexSpitter(latex.ChapterLatexSpitter): def visitNode_pre(self, node): self.writer('\n\n\begin{fmpage}\n\begin{verbatim}\n') buf = StringIO() latex.getLatexText(node, buf.write) s = buf.getvalue() self.writer(latex.text.removeLeadingTrailingBlanks(s)) self.writer('\end{verbatim}\n\end{fmpage}\n\n\n')

in my book.tex:

\newlength{\fmwidth} \setlength{\fmwidth}{\textwidth} \addtolength{\fmwidth}{-.5in}

\newsavebox{\fmbox} \newenvironment{fmpage}[0] { \begin{lrbox}{\fmbox}\begin{minipage}{\fmwidth}} {\end{minipage}\end{lrbox}\vspace{1em}\fbox{\usebox{\fmbox}}\vspace{1em}}

I'll be happy to tarball up my documentation tree and send it to you off-list if you want a working example.

Stephen.
