I would like to write a short guidelines of LaTeX for my students. In the spirit of some LaTeX manuals, I'd like to present the code and the result as follows,

Example from <code>pgfplots</code> manual

This example illustrate more or less what I'd like to do.

QUESTION(S)

Is the two-columns style realize with minipage?
How could I insert the code in a way it shows highlighted?

Any help is welcome. Cheers.

@ClaudioFiandrino Nice! Thank you very much! – Dox Jul 16 '13 at 12:05
Another thing that can be helpful (in this case especially) is to just look at the manual. It's source is in tex-dist/source and you cams just Find the text associated with the example, tracing back to the macro that makes it and viola! Perfect duplication. – Sean Allred Jul 16 '13 at 12:20
