I am trying to include a Matlab code in a latex document. The package minted works well for this purpose despite one quirk: the variables and function containing underscore symbol "_" do not display correctly (but as "'" symbol). For example, following code:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{xcolor}
\definecolor{bg}{gray}{.9}
\usepackage{minted}
\begin{document}
\begin{minted}[linenos=false,tabsize=2,breaklines,bgcolor=bg]{matlab}
Test characters with underscore like this: word_underscore.
\end{minted}
\end{document}

results in:

Is there a way out this of issue? Any help much appreciated!

Welcome to TSE. Please post a Minimal Working Example, instead of a code snippet. – José Carlos Santos Mar 24 '22 at 21:53
if I add \documentclass{article} I get undefined color bg error – David Carlisle Mar 24 '22 at 22:09
I defined bg (added above) but then get this output – David Carlisle Mar 24 '22 at 22:13
I think the issue is solved, as the default text encoding in my document didn't have the underscore character. Added \usepackage[T1]{fontenc} to preamble, now displaying properly! – Sucread Mar 24 '22 at 23:00

that is why you should always provide a test file no one can fix code that you do not show. I tested the default OT1 encoding (as I suspeced that was the issue) but got the output shown, what encoding were you using? – David Carlisle Mar 24 '22 at 23:33
Very similar to question overleaf - R Code with minted, "¡-" instead of "<-" and underscores are omitted - TeX - LaTeX Stack Exchange – user202729 Mar 25 '22 at 09:08
