Now, *that* bit of untested code works quite well!  Adding a line I
pasted in from moreverb.sty, but with 4 instead of 8 for the tab size, makes it
look just perfect:

\def\verbatimtabsize{4\relax} 

Now I shall be the envy of my Windows-using classmates!  ;)

As you can see, my original message stated that I did not try the
code. It happens that it was completely bogus :) Try that instead
[still not tested :)]

\usepackage{moreverb}
\let\verbatiminput=\verbatimtabinput

If I do that, the errors go away, but I do not see anything in the DVI
differently from the normal method of including a "verbatim" file.  Tabs are
ignored, just like always.

Ok, I tested it, by trying to use it with my LyX version 1.0.3, and it
does not work.  :(  If I include this exactly as it appears above in my
preamble, I get 6 LaTeX errors referring to undefined control sequences.  I am
guessing (though I know no (La)TeX) that something should be after the
"renewcommand", as in every other instance where I've seen it used, a bunch of
stuff in {} follows, but not here.

Can someone tell me what's missing?  I'd find this very useful for
printing out my programming labs, among other things.  :)

(I won't even ask about algorithm floats; I'll just wait until their
use makes it into the documentation!  ;)

I also tried a suggestion from Christopher Sawtell, that one use the
following (with \usepackage{verbatim} in preamble) to include a file:

\verbatiminput[tabstop]{}

However, trying such things as "\verbatiminput[4]{/home/blah/file}"
doesn't seem to do anything for me; this appears as 

\latex latex

\backslash
verbatiminput[4]{/home/rassilon/proj/csc234/craps.cc}

...and does nothing -- except that everything after "verbatiminput["
actually appears in the document.

I am now quite confused, and am off to simpler pursuits, like learning
gnuplot.  ;)

Any help appreciated,

This is a `feature' of LaTeX. This is handled by the moreverb
package. Something like the following in your preamble should help
[not tested]:

\usepackage{moreverb}
\renewcommand
\let\verbatiminclude\verbatimtabinput

Hope this helps

Insert->Include File, Verbatim: Tabs are lost

1999-05-28 Thread Michael Behrens

Hallo!

(lyx-1.0.3pre4)

I just tried to include a simple ASCII file including tabs with

Insert->Include file, option Verbatim

But the tabs seem to be silently ignored, they even are not interpreted as blanks.
Is there a way to get them used or is this a featue/bug?
