typewriterverbatim
Why can't I use \begin{verbatim} inside \texttt?
\texttt{ \small \begin{verbatim}
iab <key> <expansion>
<key> is the string which should be expanded to <expansion>
\end{verbatim}}
This throws an error.
I can do this without any problem,
{\tt \small \begin{verbatim}
iab <key> <expansion>
<key> is the string which should be expanded to <expansion>
\end{verbatim}}
but I read, \tt is gone now.
You can do with the help of the verbatim command and some low level hackery:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{verbatim}
\newenvironment{spverbatim}
{\verbatim\splitchars}
{\endverbatim}
\newcommand{\splitchars}{%
\definesplitchar{\!}%
\definesplitchar{\.}%
\definesplitchar{\+}%
\definesplitchar{\-}%
\definesplitchar{\^}%
\definesplitchar{\;}%
}
\newcommand{\definesplitchar}[1]{%
\begingroup\lccode`~=`#1\relax
\lowercase{\endgroup\def~}{\char`#1\hspace{0pt plus 0.1pt minus 0.1pt}}%
\catcode`#1=\active
}
\begin{document}
\begin{spverbatim}
$ mylinuxcommand
!+.++++.....+++-+++-!^!^+............................................;+++-^^!--.........+++--!^!^+.++++.....+++-+++-^!^+............................................;+++-^^!--.........+++--!^!^+.++++.....+++-+++-!^!^+............................................;+++-^^!--.........+++--!^!^
$ myotherlinuxcommand
true
$ mylastcommand
"Thank you for your help"
\end{spverbatim}
\end{document}
You appear to be using fancyvrb, which already has the feature you want:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{fancyvrb}
\usepackage{lipsum} % just for the example
\begin{document}
\lipsum*[3]
\begin{Verbatim}[fontsize=\small]
1 double x, y;
2 double z, w;
3 main();
4 return 0;
\end{Verbatim}
\lipsum[3]
\end{document}

verbatimand macro\verbchange the catcodes. The catcodes are used, when TeX generates tokens from the input characters. If the tokenization is already done, the catcode changes do not have an effect. This happens if the verbatim stuff is put in the argument of another macro (here:\texttt). This can be avoided by using a group with\ttfamilyinstead of\texttt:\smallalso changes the line spacing. TeX uses the values for the line spacing at the end of a paragraph, when it generates lines from the paragraph. Therefore I have explicitly added\parat the begin and end of the group.
