Latex's verbatim: how to indent every instance?

Question

Hello,

I have a latex document with a bunch of verbatim text. I would like to indent every single instance of these.

For example:

This is regular text.
\begin{verbatim}
This is verbatim text.
\end{verbatim}

I want "This is verbatim text" to be indented a centimeter or two. How do I do this?

Answer 1

You could define a new command that indents how you like.

Something like this:

\newcommand{\myverb}[1]{ \indent{ \begin{verbatim} #1 \end{verbatim} } }

This should let you do:

\myverb{ This is verbatim text. }

Answer 2

You could wrap all your verbatim environments in quote environments:

\begin{quote}
\begin{verbatim}
This is indented verbatim text.
Works for multiple lines, too.
\end{verbatim}
\end{quote}

Answer 3

This extends ezod's answer above.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{fancyvrb}
\newenvironment{qv}
{\quote\Verbatim}
{\endquote\endVerbatim}
\begin{document}
\begin{qv}
This text
is indented.
\end{qv}
\end{document}

Answer 4

Any indent

\catcode`\@=11
\let \saveverbatime \@xverbatim
\def \@xverbatim {\leftskip = 1cm\relax\saveverbatime}
\catcode`\@=12
