[Tex/LaTex] Create a verbatim mdframed environment

environmentsmdframedverbatim

I'd like to use and mdframed environment with verbatim in it. I've read the both documentations, googled but I've found nothing regarding this matter.

MWE below:

\documentclass[10pt]{article}

\usepackage[a4paper,pdftex]{geometry}
\usepackage[headings]{fullpage}

\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[magyar]{babel}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}

\usepackage{color}
\definecolor{shadecolor}{gray}{0.90}

\usepackage{tikz}
\usetikzlibrary{positioning,fit}

\usepackage{verbatim}

\usepackage[framemethof=tikz,%
innerleftmargin=\parindent,%
linewidth=0pt,%
backgroundcolor=shadecolor,%
skipabove=0.6\baselineskip,%
skipbelow=0.6\baselineskip]{mdframed}

Hello everybody out there using minix -

I'm doing a (free) operating system (just a hobby, won't be big and
professional like gnu) for 386(486) AT clones.  This has been brewing
since april, and is starting to get ready.  I'd like any feedback on
things people like/dislike in minix, as my OS resembles it somewhat
(same physical layout of the file-system (due to practical reasons)
among other things). 

I've currently ported bash(1.08) and gcc(1.40), and things seem to work.
This implies that I'll get something practical within a few months, and
I'd like to know what features most people would want.  Any suggestions
are welcome, but I won't promise I'll implement them :-)

        Linus (torva...@kruuna.helsinki.fi)

PS.  Yes - it's free of any minix code, and it has a multi-threaded fs.
It is NOT protable (uses 386 task switching etc), and it probably never
will support anything other than AT-harddisks, as that's all I have :-(.

P.S. I don't want to use the listings package, because I can set margins and stuff with mdframed perfectly, and I don't need code highlighting.

The following works perfectly for me:

\documentclass[10pt]{article}

\usepackage[a4paper,pdftex]{geometry}
\usepackage[headings]{fullpage}

\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}

\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}

\usepackage{color}
\definecolor{shadecolor}{gray}{0.90}

\usepackage{tikz}
\usetikzlibrary{positioning,fit}

\usepackage{verbatim}

\usepackage[framemethod=tikz,%
innerleftmargin=\parindent,%
linewidth=0pt,%
backgroundcolor=gray,%
skipabove=0.6\baselineskip,%
skipbelow=0.6\baselineskip]{mdframed}


% How to create a new environment that uses mdframed and verbatim?
\newenvironment{magic}
{\begin{mdframed}}
{\end{mdframed}}

\begin{document}

\begin{mdframed} % How to make these
\begin{verbatim}

\end{verbatim} % How to make these
\end{mdframed} % two into one?
  <snip>
\end{document}

Note that I corrected your typo: framemethof vs framemethod and I changed the color that is being used. The error it gave me: Package pgfbase Error: Unsupported color model '0'. Sorry \end{mdframed}. I doubt that this is related to the combination of mdframed and verbatim. Since I get the same error when I replace the verbatim environment with some text.

Edit: Marco's comment made me realize I had misunderstood the question. I now assume uou are mainly concerned with getting a new environment that works as verbatim inside of mdframed. You can use the construct suggested by Marco in the comment along with creating a new environment for verbatim. The following code:

\newenvironment{myverb}
{\endgraf\verbatim}
{\endverbatim}

\BeforeBeginEnvironment{myverb}{\begin{mdframed}}
\AfterEndEnvironment{myverb}{\end{mdframed}}

In your document you can then use \begin{myverb} ...\end{myverb} to get a verbatim inside of an mdframed environment.

In this particular case the problem is a typical one: You can't pass verbatim content as an argument to another macro. This is indeed the case with using environ, since content is accumulated in the macro \BODY for processing later.

From the looks of your minimal example, it seems like you're after printing verbatim content using a specific colour (say red). For this I'd suggest defining a new verbatim environment with this specific quality/attribute. As such, fancyvrb can come in handy. Here's a MWE that illustrates this concept (taken, virtually verbatim, from the fancyvrb documentation (section 4.1.3 Customization of formatting, p 5 and 4.2.4 Personalized environments, p 18)):

enter image description here

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{fancyvrb,xcolor}% http://ctan.org/pkg/{fancyvrb,xcolor}
\DefineVerbatimEnvironment%
  {MyVerbatim}{Verbatim}
  {formatcom=\color{red}}
\begin{document}
\begin{MyVerbatim}
First verbatim line.
Second verbatim line.
\end{MyVerbatim}
\end{document}

Here's another similar approach, but this time using the interface provided by the thmtools package; the idea is to define the structure as a theorem-like one, and use the mdframed key provided by thmtools:

\documentclass[11pt]{article}
\usepackage{xcolor}
\usepackage{amsthm}
\usepackage{thmtools}
\usepackage[framemethod=tikz]{mdframed}

\definecolor{ExerciseColor}{gray}{0.65}

\declaretheoremstyle[
headfont=\normalfont\bfseries,
notefont=\mdseries, notebraces={(}{)},
bodyfont=\normalfont,
postheadspace=0.5em,
mdframed={
  skipabove=\topsep,
  skipbelow=\topsep,
  hidealllines=true,
  backgroundcolor={ExerciseColor!20},
  innerleftmargin=0pt,
  innerrightmargin=0pt}
]{mystyle}
\declaretheorem[style=mystyle,name=Exercise]{exer}
\newenvironment{exercise}[1]
  {\renewcommand\theexer{#1}\begin{exer}}
  {\end{exer}}

\begin{document}

\begin{exercise}{1.3.5}
Here is an exercise. Here is an exercise. Here is an exercise. Here is an exercise. Here is an exercise. Here is an equation:
\[
a + b = c.
\]
Here is an exercise. 
\end{exercise}

\begin{exercise}{1.3.7}
Here is an exercise. Here is an exercise. Here is an exercise. Here is an exercise. Here is an exercise. Here is an equation:
\[
a + b = c.
\]
Here is an exercise. 
\end{exercise}

\end{document}
