Using `\verb` in awesomeboxes now fails

[vigou3]

With awesomebox v0.2 shipping with TeX Live 2018, usage of \verb was allowed in admonition boxes. With v0.5 in TeX Live 2019, this is no longer the case. MWE compiling fine in TL 2018, but not in TL 2019:

\documentclass{article}
  \usepackage{awesomebox}

\begin{document}

\notebox{The symbol \verb|~| identifies the user home directory.}

\end{document}

The behavior change may have happened between the two above revisions, I didn't check. What I did notice, though, is that v0.5 now uses package array instead of tabularx.

Thanks for your issues. I think both are effectively due to the move to array. I'll try to find time to investigate on them.

For this one, as a workaround for now, you can safely use the new environment commands:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{awesomebox}

\begin{document}

\begin{noteblock}
  The symbol \verb|~| identifies the user home directory.
\end{noteblock}

\end{document}

I can confirm this is due to the underlying tabular. You'll find here other workaround to insert verbatim fragments in awesome box/block: https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/472706/how-to-use-verb-in-the-environment-tabular

As the environment approach works, I won't try further to actually fixing it. I'll just add a note in the manual in the « breaking changes » section to let users know about that.

All right for me!
