I recall seeing recently somewhere a reference to a LaTeX
documentstyle that provides two-column output like that in the LaTeX
manual, with an example on one side and the verbatim code that
produced it on the other. I thought I had actually retrieved the file
but now looking around my directory tree I can't find it. If anyone
might be able to lay their hands easily on a source reference and mail
it off to me I would appreciate it. But in addition I think I may need
to write my own version anyway, because I don't want to have to repeat
the material twice in the electronic file (error-prone if you ever
make any changes to the material). This will involve reading and
writing a scratch file, in order for \verb, \index, etc. to be
properly handled. If someone else has already done this I would be
interested to know about it.
 
The scratch file would be named \jobname.something, where something
might be .scr, .vnv, .dbl ("double"), .rep ("repeat") or .tmp; I would
like to avoid using an extension already in wide use by other
applications, obviously, so would be grateful for any feedback.
