Syntax Coloring in LaTeX
I'm relatively new to LaTeX, and am starting to use it for academic paper writing. I'm doing a lot of computer programming as part of my academic work, so need to be able to include code extracts easily.
I know I can easily make them appear in a monospaced font, but what would you suggest for getting automatic syntax highlighting?
As the original developer of minted, that’s of course what I recommend.
It uses Pygments to produce beautifully coloured code, e.g.:
On the other hand, I realize that installing minted isn’t trivial, and it relies on an external program. Simpler, more efficient (very noticeable for a large number of code fragments!) and already installed on most systems – but also less versatile than minted – is the package listings. (Furthermore, listings has a nice feature to break over-long lines automatically and indent them correctly. minted can’t do this.)
Use package listings. But there are other options see: https://texfaq.org/FAQ-codelist.
However, I can run pygmentize fine from any command prompt. What is going on?
