Environment code undefined

Question

Why do I get ! LaTeX Error: Environment code undefined. when I use:

\documentclass[10pt,a4wide]{article}
\usepackage{a4wide}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[portuguese]{babel}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\newcommand{\HRule}{\rule{\linewidth}{0.5mm}}

\begin{document}
\begin{minipage}{7cm}  

\begin{code}  

module Dir where

import TeX
import Data.List

\end{code}

\end{minipage}\hfill
\begin{minipage}{7cm}

\begin{code}

module DirV where

import TeX
import Data.List

\end{code}

\end{minipage}

With code

With verbatim

Welcome to TeX.sx! Please expand your code to a full minimal working example (MWE). If you're not loading any packages, this is just natural, because -- as the message says -- there is no code environment. — doncherry, Jan 16 '12 at 17:28

You don't have an environment called code. If you are trying to print code, you might be interested in the verbatim environment, or other pretty-printing environments/packages. See Print programs with its proper syntax.

Wrapping your code snippet into a minimal compiling document using verbatim, it produces the following output:

enter image description here

\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
\begin{minipage}{7cm}%
\begin{verbatim}
module Dir where

import TeX
import Data.List
\end{verbatim}
\end{minipage}\hfill
\begin{minipage}{7cm}%
\begin{verbatim}
module DirV where

import TeX
import Data.List
\end{verbatim}
\end{minipage}
\end{document}

The listings package should also be mentioned here. It provides syntax highlighting and a lot of other features for code. – Martin Scharrer Jan 16 '12 at 17:36
It doesnt have the same format of \begin{code} but it works just fine, thanks for the tip mate – seph Jan 16 '12 at 17:40
@MartinScharrer: I've referenced Print programs with its proper syntax which provides a host of code formatting packages, including listings. – Werner Jan 16 '12 at 17:40
@seph: What "format of \begin{code}" are you referring to? If you could post an image of the format you're after, one might be able to provide a duplicate environment that suits your needs. You can do so via an edit to your post. – Werner Jan 16 '12 at 17:42
@seph: The verbatim environment seems to match your specification on p 4, while that of p 1 is something entirely different. – Werner Jan 16 '12 at 17:55
yeah, the one on p1 is an environment that i get using the \begin{code} – seph Jan 16 '12 at 17:59
