Yesterday I was commenting on my attempts to produce a verbatim tag that was smaller when it had a <document> as the argument. I managed to do it.

It seems like the magic that detects the block/inline-ness of a macro makes it's mind up when it sees an "if", so I avoided it like this, below; and now my inline verbatim is normal, but block verbatim is smaller!

The trick is to make the rendering macro's name be calculated from get-label of the argument, and make sure that there is a default rendering macro for all get-label values but then override it for "document".

<assign|old-verbatim|<value|verbatim>>

<assign|verbatim|<macro|x|<with|<merge|ov-|<get-label|<arg|x>>>|<macro|x|<old-verbatim|<arg|x>>>|ov-document|<macro|x|<with|par-par-sep|0fn|<small|<old-verbatim|<arg|x>>>>>|<compound|<merge|ov-|<get-label|<arg|x>>>|<arg|x>>>>>

Inline cos we want to <verbatim|Now is the time for all good men to bring
lemonade to the party before the quick brown fox jumps over the <em|hi> lazy
dog> and then block:

<\verbatim>
Now is the time for all good men to bring lemonade <em|hi> to the party
before the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog

because there is more
</verbatim>
