fvextra is a LaTeX package that provides
several extensions to the fancyvrb package.
It also patches some fancyvrb internals.
fancyvrb is one of the primary packages for working with verbatim text in
LaTeX. fvextra builds on fancyvrb by adding support for automatic line
breaking and improving math mode, among other things. It provides a
reimplemented \Verb command that works (with a few limitations) inside other
commands, even in movable arguments and PDF bookmarks. It also provides
\EscVerb, which is similar to \Verb except that it works everywhere
without limitations by allowing the backslash to serve as an escape character.
Many of the improvements provided by fvextra are geared toward typesetting
computer code. Parts of fvextra were originally developed as part of the
pythontex and
minted packages.
The easiest option with an up-to-date LaTeX distribution like
TeX Live or MiKTeX
is to use the package manager. Depending on how LaTeX is configured,
you may already have fvextra installed, and can update it
with the package manager if necessary.
To try the development version, simply download fvextra.sty and put it in
the same directory as your document.
There are many resources online for manual package installation. The
LaTeX Wikibook
might be one place to start. Note that for manual installation, the style
file fvextra.sty is pre-generated and available for download.
