General ⇒ < and > become inverted ! and ? also in Verbatim - help!

[R_vardavas]

it seems that when using LaTeX "plus, minus, and equal sign may be used in either text or math mode, but < and > are math mode only (they produce inverted exclamation and question marks, respectively, in text mode)."

fine but if i have to show some C code in TeX and i place the code within the Verbatim - this problem still occurs making the code very hard to read.

please - what is the solution to this??

Thanks.

Hi R_vardavas,

welcome to the board!
it should work with inline math: $<$ text $>$
With

Code: Select all

\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}

you could use < and > directly in the text.
Inside the verbatim environment < and > should behave as expected. Btw. consider to use the listings package for typesetting source code.
