I'm trying to put verbatim text inside a node (in a beamer frame):
\begin{frame}[fragile]{P}
\tikzstyle{cell} = [rectangle, draw, thin , fill=black!10 , minimum size=5mm]
\begin{tikzpicture}[node distance=3cm, auto,>=latex', thick, overlay]
\path[->,draw]<1-> node[cell] (p) {Text at \verb!p!};
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{frame}
But it doesn't compile and produces an error. If one replaces \verb!p!
with anything else, like "p
", it compiles. Note that I also tried to put
"fragile
" in the frame options. Thank you in advance!
Best Answer
You can use
\Verb
from the fancyvrb package:As Caramdir has correctly suspected in a comment, if another document class (
article
, for example) is used there's no need to use\Verb
and the standard\verb
command will work.You should also consider using
\texttt{p}
instead of\verb!p!
(as Torbjørn T suggested in his comment) if your intention is just to use a mono-spaced font for the "p" character.
