Summary

The command \literalmode adjusts the list of special characters in your text.

Description

When you use \asciimode in a document comments have to be added with two percent signs %% but this leads to problems with inline verbatim code because you can't write \type{%%} anymore. The \literalmode works like \asciimode with the exception that %% isn't used for comments.

Examples

Example 1

The following example shows the different results of \asciimode and \literalmode with %%.

  • \asciimode
    
    This is normal text
    
    %% This is a comment.
    
    Verbatim: \type{%%}
    
  • \literalmode
    
    This is normal text
    
    %% This is a comment.
    
    Verbatim: \type{%%}
