Include a text file as a paragraph












2















I am trying to input a text file to latex. However, this text file contains special symbols like % and & which causes issues. I do not want to import the file as verbatim, it should be imported like regular text with paragraph formatting and word wrap.

  • @AndrewSwann It does, though that question is about verbatim, maybe we should copy the answer to here?

Minimal approach:



documentclass{article}

newcommandinputtextfile{}
newcommandredefinecharacter{}
protecteddefredefinecharacter#1#2%
{%
catcode`#1=13
begingroup
lccode`~=`#1
lowercase{endgroupdef~{#2}}%
}
protecteddefinputtextfile#1%
{%
begingroup
redefinecharacter{\}{textbackslash}%
redefinecharacter{{}{{}%
redefinecharacter{}}{}}%
redefinecharacter{$}{$}%
redefinecharacter{&}{&}%
redefinecharacter{#}{#}%
redefinecharacter{^}{^{}}%
redefinecharacter{_}{_}%
redefinecharacter{%}{%}%
redefinecharacter{~}{textasciitilde}%
input{#1}%
endgroup
}

begin{document}
The output of our file doesn't look too good, because we input something that
contains code as text :)

inputtextfile{jobname}
end{document}


Ugly output:
