\verb

`\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.
