Update summary:
The new version adds support for optional arguments, and for having
several arguments.
e.g., one can put verbatim both in a section title, and in the short
title for the toc:
\cprotect\section[Some \verb+^&*+]{Longer \verb+$%^&*+}
Nesting is also supported.
Basic package information, as sent by the contributor.
Location: /macros/latex/contrib/cprotect Author: Bruno Le Floch License: lppl1.3 Caption: Allow verbatim, etc., in macro arguments. Description: The package defines the macro '\cprotect' that makes a following macro proof against verbatim in its argument; as, for example, '\cprotect\section{\verb"foo"}' A similar macro '\cprotEnv' (applied to the '\begin' of an environment) sanitises the behavior of fragile environments. Moving arguments, and corresponding tables of … work happily. * The new version supports macros with optional arguments, or with several arguments. These have to be declared, as in \cprotect[om]\sqrt[\verb+%1+]{ \verb+%3+ }. *Nesting is supported: \cprotect\section{$\cprotect[mm]\frac{\verb+%1+}{\verb+%2+}$}.

The package defines the macro \cprotect that makes a following macro proof against verbatim in its argument; as, for example, \cprotect\section{\verb"foo"}
A similar macro \cprotEnv (applied to the \begin of an environment) sanitises the behavior of fragile environments.
Moving arguments, and corresponding “tables of …” work happily.
