## \verbatim [beamer package]

Once again working on my slides for the AMSI Lecture 2012 tour, it took me a while to get the following LaTeX code (about the family reunion puzzle) to work:

\begin{frame}[fragile,label=notleM2]
\slidetitle{A family meeting}
\begin{block}{Random switch of couples}
\only<1>{
\begin{itemize}
\item Pick two couples [among the 20 couples] at random with probabilities proportional
to the number of other couples they have not seen\\
{\verb+prob=apply(meet(T)==0,1,sum)+}
\item switch their respective position during one of the 6 courses
\item accept the switch with Metropolis--Hsatings probability\\
{\verb#log(runif(1))<(penalty(old)-penalty(new))/gamma#}
\end{itemize}
}
\only<2>{
\begin{verbatim}
for (t in 1:N){
prop=sample(1:20,2,prob=apply(meet(T)==0,1,sum))
cour=sample(1:6,1)
Tp=T
Tp[prop[1],cour]=T[prop[2],cour]
Tp[prop[2],cour]=T[prop[1],cour]
penatp=penalty(meet(Tp))
if (log(runif(1))<(penat-penatp)/gamma){
T=Tp
penat=penatp}
}
\end{verbatim}
}
\end{block}
\end{frame}

since I was getting error messages of the form

[86] (./simulation.38.vrb) [87] (./simulation.39.vrb
!Illegal parameter number in definition of \beamer@doifinframe.
l
l.12 }
?


Using two frames in a row instead of the “only<2>” version  did not help…
