The `fancyvrb' package provides very sophisticated facilities for reading
and writing verbatim TeX code. Users can perform common tasks like changing
font family and size, numbering lines, framing code examples, colouring text
and conditionally processing text.
`fancyvrb' was heavily used in the typesetting of the "LaTeX Graphics
Companion", by Michel Goossens, Frank Mittelbach, Sebastian Rahtz,
Denis Roegel, and Herbert Voß, Addison Wesley, 2007 and Lehmanns Media, 2022
It was presented March 31, 1998 for EuroTeX'98. The original paper is
available on "Cahiers GUTenberg"

The `fancyvrb-ex' package provides some example environments to
