\verb char literal_text char
or \verb*char literal_text char
Typesets literal_text exactly as typed,
including special characters
and spaces, using a typewriter (\tt) font. There may be no
space between \verb or \verb*
and char (space is shown here only for
clarity). The *-form differs only in that spaces are printed
as "visual" spaces, i.e., a short, squat "u".
Any char except a space (or a * for the \verb
form) may be chosen as the delimiter. Thus, the input
\verb1This!is?the##1 verbatim ...
would produce
This!is?the## verbatim ...
The \verb command may not be used in the argument
of another command. For example, it cannot be used in the text of a
sectioning command.
