\type
Syntax (autogenerated)
| \type[...=...,...]{...} | |
| ...=...,... | inherits from \setuptype |
| {...} | content |
| \type[...=...,...]<<...>> | |
| ...=...,... | inherits from \setuptype |
| <<...>> | angles |
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 <>}
