A paragraph-making environment in which LaTeX produces as output exactly what you type as input. For instance inside literal-text the backslash \ character does not start commands, it produces a printed ‘ \ ’, and carriage returns and blanks are taken literally. The output appears in a monospaced typewriter-like font ( \tt ).
The only restriction on literal-text is that it cannot include the string \end{verbatim} .
You cannot use the verbatim environment in the argument to macros, for instance in the argument to a \section . This is not the same as commands being fragile (see \protect ), instead it just cannot work, as the verbatim environment changes the catcode regime before processing its contents, and restore it immediately afterward, nevertheless with a macro argument the content of the argument has already be converted to a token list along the catcode regime in effect when the macro was called. However, the cprotect package can help with this.
One common use of verbatim input is to typeset computer code. There are packages that are an improvement the verbatim environment. For instance, one improvement is to allow the verbatim inclusion of external files, or parts of those files. Such packages include listings , and minted .
A package that provides many more options for verbatim environments is fancyvrb . Another is verbatimbox .
For a list of all the relevant packages, see CTAN (see CTAN ).
The macro form of the verbatim environment.

The verbatim environment is a paragraph-making environment that
gets LaTeX to print exactly what you type in. It turns LaTeX into a
typewriter with carriage returns and blanks having the same effect that
they would on a typewriter.

The verbatim environment is a paragraph-making
environment that gets LaTeX to print exactly what you type in.
It turns LaTeX into a typewriter with carriage returns and
blanks having the same effect that they would on a typewriter.
The output looks exactly as it looks in the input file.
The difference between verbatim and
verbatim* is that the latter prints spaces as "visual"
spaces, i.e., a short, squat "u".
The only text which cannot be placed in the verbatim
environment is the 14-character sequence "\end{verbatim}".
The verbatim environment may not be
used in the argument of another command. However, it
can be placed inside a
minipage environment which allows you
to manipulate it's placement.

The verbatim environment is used to display LaTeX commands instead of having them executed.
To display a single command in-line, the \verb|| command can be used.
To display a whole block, we can use \begin{verbatim} to open the environment and \end{verbatim} to close it.
But I've come across \verbatim as well. With that, we can also type \begin{verbatim} and \end{verbatim} having them shown on our document and not initiating and ending their environment. The problem is, I still haven't found how to terminate it.
I know there are better ways, and maybe \verbatim should be never used at all. But I just wanted to understand how it worked to learn more about LaTeX. After invoking it, how can I return to a normal environment where LaTeX code is compiled, a normal font is used and line breaks are automatic?
verbatim is a very special environment which looks for the exact string \end{verbatim} to end it. Unlike other latex environments you can't use \env ...\endenv instead of \begin{env} ...\end{env} with verbatim.
If you really want to start with \verbatim then you must do something like this to get around the errors due to the various latex settings for environments in general and verbatim specially:
Which shows that it is not a good idea to use \verbatim directly without the help of packages like verbatim.
Package verbatim supports the creation of own verbatim environment, see section 2.1 of the package documentation . The following example defines environment metaverbatim in order to allow \begin{verbatim} and \end{verbatim} inside the verbatim block:
Internally \verbatim and \endverbatim are the commands that are executed as start and end part of the environment verbatim . But they should not be used outside an environment, because the verbatim environment specifically looks for \end{...} with ... as the name of the verbatim environment.
I suggest a look at the fancyvrb package, which introduces several customization facilities.
The main environment is called Verbatim , so
will work flawlessly. There's still a problem if you need to show an example of a Verbatim environment. If you do, then adding
The color of MetaVerbatim is just to show one of the many possible customizations.
