\type

Syntax

\type{...}
{...}	text

Description

Verbatim text, typeset in typewriter font.

In a caption (and probably other places), \type can cause errors if it contains active characters (| for example). You can use

\type{...}\type{|}\type{...}

as a workaround, since the first character is not expanded.

Example

\type{\bf You can type any %ld thing you |ike, even command$.}\crlf
\type-You can choose your own delimiters-\crlf
\setuptype[option=slanted]
\type{house <>}
