Hi, The above variable seems to have no effect on verbatim environments in org mode 8.2.10. I tried Eric Schlute's example: ############################## ** simple latex verbatim wrap example :PROPERTIES: :DATE: 2011-05-05 :END: #+begin_src emacs-lisp :results silent (setq org-export-latex-verbatim-wrap '("{\\scriptsize\n\\begin{verbatim}\n" . "\\end{verbatim}\n}\n")) #+end_src #+begin_src sh echo eric schulte echo another #+end_src ################################ This, however, renders as in the pic below for me. Any hints/help would be greatly appreciated - I am looking for using this in a report. Dushyant [image: pasted1]
