Hi
I have a little problem where I would like to insert a svn diff of a LaTeX document into another LaTeX document, the goal is to show what has changed since revision XXX. However since the diff contains a lot of LaTeX command I can't include it right into the document since LaTeX will interpit them and not just "print" them.
Today I have this in my Makefile
DIFF_INFO=diff.info.tex
DIFF_REV=167
diffinfo:
$(shell echo "\n" > $(DIFF_INFO) )
$(shell echo "\\section{diff $(DIFF_REV)} \n" >> $(DIFF_INFO) )
$(shell echo \\\\begin{verbatim} >> $(DIFF_INFO) )
$(shell svn diff --revision $(DIFF_REV) $(N).tex >> $(DIFF_INFO) )
$(shell echo \\\\end{verbatim} >> $(DIFF_INFO) )
And at the end of the LaTeX document I have this:
\IfFileExists{diff.info.tex}
{
\newpage
\input{diff.info.tex}
}
But this fails hard!
My next idea is to write a perl script that replaces all invalid chars with something that LaTeX can show, but it feels like I'm risking to reinvent the wheel so I figured that I could ask if someone had a better idea?
How do I include and show LaTeX code in the document?
Thanks Johan
Update: Thanks "unknown (google)" for pointing out verbatim, it did what I wanted it to.
Update: I also looks like I should try that listings that las3rjock told us about since it look kind of nice.
Update: Could not get listings to work in my case, I get some strange utf warnings about invalid chars. But the verbatim is working so I will use that way this time.
