Following on from this question, I'm totally stumped on getting LaTeX to give me a tilde when I'm in verbatim mode. It has to be a tilde because it's the type of a function!
sig symm : (Board, [(Int, Int)]) ~> Bool
Standard methods for displaying a tilde are printed verbatim, of course..
Any suggestions?
An edit to clarify: Typing a ~ in verbatim mode gives an accent above a blank space. I'm after a tilde as it appears at the beginning of this sentence.
It seems to me that what you really want, is to customize the look of the captions. This is most easily done using the caption package. For instructions how to use this package, see the manual (PDF). You would probably need to create your own custom caption format, as described in chapter 4 in the manual.
Edit: Tested with MikTex:
\documentclass{report}
\usepackage{color}
\usepackage{xcolor}
\usepackage{listings}
\usepackage{caption}
\DeclareCaptionFont{white}{\color{white}}
\DeclareCaptionFormat{listing}{\colorbox{gray}{\parbox{\textwidth}{#1#2#3}}}
\captionsetup[lstlisting]{format=listing,labelfont=white,textfont=white}
% This concludes the preamble
\begin{document}
\begin{lstlisting}[label=some-code,caption=Some Code]
public void here() {
goes().the().code()
}
\end{lstlisting}
\end{document}
Result:
Use p{width} for your column specifiers instead of l/r/c.
\begin{tabular}{|p{1cm}|p{3cm}|}
This text will be wrapped & Some more text \\
\end{tabular}
EDIT: (based on the comments)
\begin{table}[ht]
\centering
\begin{tabular}{p{0.35\linewidth} | p{0.6\linewidth}}
Column 1 & Column2 \\ \hline
This text will be wrapped & Some more text \\
Some text here & This text maybe wrapped here if its tooooo long \\
\end{tabular}
\caption{Caption}
\label{tab:my_label}
\end{table}

If there are some characters that do not occur in your input, you can use fancyvrb and its commandchars option to insert TeX commands within verbatim text:
See the documentation of fancyvrb for more.
