Hi Rainer,

Yes. For now it produces:

,----
| \begin{description}
| \item[first]some text
| \item[second]some more text
| \item[\texttt{code}]some additional text
| \end{description}
`----

where \texttt{code} is not taken into account.

But

  \item[{\texttt code}]some additional text

would do the job.  I don't know what are the LaTeX conventions 
regarding the use of {\texttt ...} vs. \texttt{...} constructs.

Any LaTeX guru here?
