Hi Tassilo,

your help is greatly appreciated, thanks,

I only had the problem that I did not see at first that you had
dropped "-multiline-" from the variable name compared to
your earlier defun var fjbu/...

Although  an elisp quasi illiterate I went through the daring step
of replacing fjbu by jfbu throughout your code... and it worked ;-)

I only have now to find why doctex-mode does not react, only
latex-mode, (if I open my .dtx, it defaults to DocTeX mode,
where for some reason the hook above is not executed, I have
to do M-x latex-mode. If I open in a buffer a .tex file, no
problem)

I add background on my motivation:

I sometimes need to use \verb with arguments containing spaces.

However, then very often fill-paragraph or similar M-q or whatever
is bound to my F11 key would split the \verb argument across two
lines, and error on next latex compilation.

I got horripiled by this enough that I decided to configure my
own \verb which would not obey spaces nor lines, and not complain
if it found a line ending.

This is was the starting point but my story now turns
very confused, because the \everb I was referring
to is not that evolution of \verb but another truly
multiline verbatim thing which I found some advantages
not to code as environment.

Anyway, thanks again for the solution you have brought to my query

best,
Jean-François
