remove double spacing inside {verbatim}
Look at using fancyvrb
. It has a lot of nice tricks. But in particular, you can set the baselineskip within the verbatim environment:
\documentclass{uwthesis}
\usepackage{fancyvrb}
\begin{document}
Double \\
Spaced \\
Lines
\begin{Verbatim}[baselinestretch=0.75]
These
lines
are
also
doublespaced
\end{Verbatim}
\end{document}
0.75
might be a bit tight for you.
You can use the etoolbox
package to change \baselinestretch
from 1.5
(the default in uwthesis.cls
) to 1
:
\documentclass{uwthesis}
\usepackage{etoolbox}
\BeforeBeginEnvironment{verbatim}{\def\baselinestretch{1}}
\begin{document}
Double \\
Spaced \\
Lines
\begin{verbatim}
These
lines
are
not
doublespaced
\end{verbatim}
Double \\
Spaced \\
Lines
\end{document}
You can update the verbatim
font to use a different \linespread
. More specifically, include \linespread{1}
as part of \verbatim@font
:
\documentclass{uwthesis}% http://ctan.org/pkg/uwthesis
\makeatletter
\def\verbatim@font{\linespread{1}\normalfont\ttfamily}
\makeatother
\begin{document}
Double \\
Spaced \\
Lines
\begin{verbatim}
These
lines
are
not
doublespaced
\end{verbatim}
Double \\
Spaced \\
Lines
\end{document}
The uwthesis
class relies on the default LaTeX kernel verbatim
environment, hence the ease of not having to add extra packages to obtain a desired output. For a reference to \linespread
, see Why doesn’t \linespread
work? on the UK TeX FAQ.
You could contain the redefinition in a macro that would act as a switch:
\makeatletter
\newcommand{\nextverbatimspread}[1]{%
\def\verbatim@font{%
\linespread{#1}\normalfont\ttfamily% Updated definition
\gdef\verbatim@font{\normalfont\ttfamily}}% Revert to old definition
}
\makeatother
which you could use in the form
\nextverbatimspread{1}
\begin{verbatim}
% ...single-spaced verbatim
\end{verbatim}
% ...some other content
\begin{verbatim}
% ...double-spaced verbatim
\end{verbatim}
For creating your own verbatim
-like environment is a little more tricky. The easiest would be to include the verbatim
package and use David's suggestion of wrapping the verbatim
environment in command-form:
\documentclass{uwthesis}% http://ctan.org/pkg/uwthesis
\usepackage{verbatim}% http://ctan.org/pkg/verbatim
\makeatletter
\newcommand{\nextverbatimspread}[1]{%
\def\verbatim@font{%
\linespread{#1}\normalfont\ttfamily% Updated definition
\gdef\verbatim@font{\normalfont\ttfamily}}% Revert to old definition
}
\newenvironment{myverbatim}[1][1.5]
{\def\verbatim@font{%
\linespread{#1}\normalfont\ttfamily% Updated definition
\gdef\verbatim@font{\normalfont\ttfamily}}% Revert to old definition
\verbatim}
{\endverbatim}
\makeatother
\begin{document}
Double \\
Spaced \\
Lines
\nextverbatimspread{1}
\begin{verbatim}
These
lines
are
not
doublespaced
\end{verbatim}
Double \\
Spaced \\
Lines
\begin{myverbatim}
These
lines
are
doublespaced
\end{myverbatim}
Double \\
Spaced \\
Lines
\begin{myverbatim}[1]
These
lines
are
not
doublespaced
\end{myverbatim}
\end{document}
The myverbatim
environment takes an option argument to specify a modified \linespread
. The default is 1.5
, as specified by uwthesis
("not quite doublespaced", according to uwthesis.cls
, line 158).
