Latex two captioned verbatim environments side-by-side

Question

How to get two verbatim environments inside floats with automatic captioning side-by-side?

\usepackage{float,fancyvrb}
...
\DefineVerbatimEnvironment{filecontents}{Verbatim}%
    {fontsize=\small,
        fontfamily=tt,
        gobble=4,
        frame=single,
        framesep=5mm,
        baselinestretch=0.8,
        labelposition=topline,
        samepage=true}

\newfloat{fileformat}{thp}{lof}[chapter]
\floatname{fileformat}{File Format}

\begin{fileformat}
    \begin{filecontents}
    A  B  C
    \end{filecontents}
    \caption{example.abc}
\end{fileformat}

\begin{fileformat}
    \begin{filecontents}
    C  B  A
    \end{filecontents}
    \caption{example.cba}
\end{fileformat}

So basically I just need those examples to be side-by-side (and keeping automatic nunbering of caption). I've been trying for a while now.

Answer 1

Use minipage like in this example, which places two pictures side by within a figure float with separate captions

\begin{figure}[htbp]
  \centering
  \begin{minipage}[b]{5 cm}
    \includegraphics{filename 1} 
    \caption{caption 1}
    \label{labelname 1}
  \end{minipage}
  \begin{minipage}[b]{5 cm}
    \includegraphics{filename 2}  
    \caption{caption 2}
    \label{labelname 2}
  \end{minipage}
\end{figure}

Answer 2

For captioning verbatim environments you can either use listings (which will offer much more than just plain captioning, syntax highlighting and line numbering come for free too) or define your own float environment using the package with the same name.

An example (from WikiBooks):

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{float}

\floatstyle{ruled}
\newfloat{program}{thp}{lop}
\floatname{program}{Program}

\begin{document}

\begin{program}
  \begin{verbatim}

class HelloWorldApp {
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    //Display the string
    System.out.println("Hello World!");
  }
}
\end{verbatim}
  \caption{The Hello World! program in Java.}
\end{program}

\end{document}

Answer 3

Found the soulution finally.

\usepackage{caption}

\begin{fileformat}[h]
  \centering
  \begin{minipage}[b]{0.4\textwidth}
    \begin{filecontents}
    A B C
    \end{filecontents}
    \captionof{fileformat}{example.abc}
  \end{minipage}
  \quad
  \begin{minipage}[b]{0.4\textwidth}
    \begin{filecontents}
    C B A
    \end{filecontents}
  \captionof{fileformat}{example.cba}
  \end{minipage}
\end{fileformat}

The problem solution is to make a caption independently from environment using caption package macro \captionof{fileformat}{Our Caption}.
