[Vim-latex-devel] Custom verbatim-like environment

[rocku <ro...@gm...>]

Hi,
I defined a custom 'code' environment using fancyvrb package. I would 
like this environment to be treated by latex-suite just like the 
verbatim environment, that is -- turn off all special characters effect 
inside it. Currently when I put code inside, then for example the '$' 
character breaks latex-suite outside of my 'code' environment. Is there 
a way to fix this?

Without giving it much thought, try something like...

\begin{verbatim}
\endverbatim
\begin{code}
...
\end{code}
\verbatim
\end{verbatim}

That is, recall that...

\begin{verbatim}

is LaTeX's way of saying

\verbatim

and...

\end{verbatim}

is LaTeX's way of saying

\endverbatim

except the \begin and \end macros add some extra protection.

Vim-LaTeX only looks for the \begin and \end varieties, and so it 
shouldn't "see" the \endverbatim and the \verbatim, but LaTeX will.

This does not work, I receive the following after \ll in vim (using 
texlive):

|| pdfTeX warning (ext4): destinati
|669 error| Extra \endgroup. 
 

|669 error| \begin{document} ended by \end{code}.
|669 error| Extra \endgroup.
|671 error| \begin{document} ended by \end{verbatim}.
|671 error| Extra \endgroup.
|| Emergency stop.
||  ==> Fatal error occurred, no output PDF file produced!


I don't want to use the listings package as it would be just overkill to 
what I am trying to do. I thought more of a workaround, possibly some 
patch to latex-suite to force verbatim-like behavior to my 'code' 
environment. I scanned throught the sources, but couldn't figure out how 
latex-suite ignores verbatim environment. I am not familiar with vim's 
script language, though.

You can you %stopzone to avoid the syntax highlighting from overrunning. 
For example

\begin{code}
$whatever
\end{code}%stopzone

should work. The syntax highlighting inside the code is still wrong, but 
at least it will not overflow.

Another option is to open $VIMRUNTIME/syntax/tex.vim and search for 
verbatim. You will see a sequence of lines like.

syn region texZone		start="\\begin{verbatim}"
end="\\end{verbatim}\|%stopzone\>"	contains=@Spell

Add another similar line replacing verbatim with code. That will make the 
code environment behave like the verbatim environment.

Thanks, that solved it. Altought I have to put %stopzone on the next
line because otherwise fancyvrb prints a error:

error| FancyVerb Error: Extraneous input ` %stopzone\end{}' between
\end{code} and line end

I also tried this and it works! I'll stick to this solution.

Thanks!

Also, check out the "listings" package, which provides some alternate 
ways to do what you're doing.
