Can anyone recommend me a good template to include C source code with line numbering
in Latex? For example, taking the classical Hello world program, I would like to make it look as follows:
(1) /* Hello World program */
(2)
(3) #include<stdio.h>
(4)
(5) main()
(6) {
(7) printf("Hello World");
(8) }
Typicall, I always used the verbatim environment, but I am wondering if there is a better and nicer way to do that.
Thanks so much
Richard
As others have said, the listings package will probably do what you want using something like the following:
\lstset{
language=C, % choose the language of the code
numbers=left, % where to put the line-numbers
stepnumber=1, % the step between two line-numbers.
numbersep=5pt, % how far the line-numbers are from the code
backgroundcolor=\color{white}, % choose the background color. You must add \usepackage{color}
showspaces=false, % show spaces adding particular underscores
showstringspaces=false, % underline spaces within strings
showtabs=false, % show tabs within strings adding particular underscores
tabsize=2, % sets default tabsize to 2 spaces
captionpos=b, % sets the caption-position to bottom
breaklines=true, % sets automatic line breaking
breakatwhitespace=true, % sets if automatic breaks should only happen at whitespace
title=\lstname, % show the filename of files included with \lstinputlisting;
}
\lstinputlisting{HelloWorld.c}
A more powerful alternative would be to use the minted package, although this will do much more than what you're currently asking, as it uses/requires pygments to be installed on your system so that it can fully tokenize the code you give it.
You might want to have a look at the listings package. It is very flexible and easy to use.
Take a look at Code listings in LaTeX. You'll find a couple of alternatives there. Some options are:
listings
minted
lgrind
Use lgrind package for latex. It converts your code into a .tex file
CWEB had a nice C formatter.

In my latex document I am using the listings package extensively.
I have many short inline code snippets that I like to give a proper highlighting in the text, and I am using the \lstMakeShortInline construct. Now I am interested in highlighting (background coloring) at least some of those code inserts for clarity, and was trying the following:
\lstMakeShortInline[language=Python,basicstyle=\ttfamily, backgroundcolor=\color{lightgray}]!
hoping that usage like:
some text some text !read_csv()! some more text
Will result in read_csv() appearing on a light-gray background, but it does not seem to work. The \ttfamily format works well in this situation.
(Thanks to samcarter_is_at_topanswers.xyz)
Here is a minimal example:
\documentclass{book}
\usepackage{listings}
\usepackage{color}
\lstset{language=Python}
\begin{document}
\lstMakeShortInline[language=Python, keywordstyle={\bfseries \color{blue}}, backgroundcolor=\color{yellow}]!
Here is the keyword !for!, showing that the \textbf{keywordstyle} setting takes effect, but the \textbf{backgroundcolor} setting does not.
\textbf{backgroundcolor} fails to take effect also when applied to a non-keyword !df.read_csv()! code snippet.
\end{document}
Is this possible with the listings package?
Thanks
Michael
Based on https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/357239/36296 you could do something like (make sure that ! does not occur in the normal text or use a different character):
% !TeX program = lualatex
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{xcolor,listings,realboxes,fancyvrb} % fancyvrb for '\Verb' macro
\definecolor{mygray}{rgb}{0.8,0.8,0.8}
\lstset{basicstyle=\ttfamily, breaklines = true, backgroundcolor=\color{mygray}}
\usepackage[doublespacing]{setspace} % just for this example
\usepackage{luacode} % for 'luacode' environment
\begin{luacode}
-- the following code employs Lua's powerful "string.gsub" function
function color_lstinline ( s )
s = string.gsub ( s , "%b!!", "\\Colorbox{mygray}{%0}" )
return s
end
\end{luacode}
%% Define 2 LaTeX macros to switch operation of Lua function on and off
\newcommand{\ColorLstinlineOn}{\directlua{
luatexbase.add_to_callback ( "process_input_buffer" ,
color_lstinline, "color_lstinline" )}}
\newcommand{\ColorLstinlineOff}{\directlua{
luatexbase.remove_from_callback ( "process_input_buffer" ,
"color_lstinline" )}}
\AtBeginDocument{\ColorLstinlineOn} % Default: activate the Lua function
\lstMakeShortInline[language=Python, keywordstyle={\bfseries \color{blue}}, backgroundcolor=\color{yellow}]!
\begin{document}
!for!
\end{document}
I have searched but nothing useless, only "use \newline" or "use \".
I'm creating a simple latex document to store any texts instead of using .txt, and the problem is that the pdf document contains the lines going towards right until they go out of the paper.
I'm using this simple code
\documentclass[a4paper]{article}
\usepackage{geometry}
\geometry{

total={170mm,257mm},
left=5mm,
top=20mm,

\end{document}
Since latex sees it as a one word, it refuses to break it since it doenst know its hyphenation. But I would like to allow latex to break it regardless. Any thoughts ?
Remarks: I already have used:
\hspace{0pt}
\leavevmode\nobreak\hspace{0pt}
\mbox{Loremip...larorum.}
Nothing worked.
I think I got why nothing worked. See my code below, that I managed to compile successfully after editing your MWE.
You basically have two ways to force hyphenation here.
As in the comment by SamCarter, you manually split words within text, just using \- where necessary. I did it below in line 18 (6 from bottom).
You add to your preamble the command \hyphenation{word-to-split}: I did this below to hyphenate the word in line 20 (4 from bottom). Notice that, in this case, you use - instead of \- within the braces {} enclosing the argument.
\documentclass[a4paper]{article}
\usepackage{geometry}
\geometry{
a4paper,
total={170mm,257mm},
left=5mm,
top=20mm,
}
\hyphenation{Duisauteiruredolorinre-prehenderitinvoluptatevelitesse-cillum doloreeufugiatnullapariatur}

Finally, if the full stop character . is not followed by a space, two separate words may be interpreted as one and the command \hyphenation may not work as expected. Not sure that this was the detail making you write that nothing worked, but be careful to this too.
We are exploring the features of Sphinx in order to rebuild our legacy manuals. We already ported most of the former manual to Sphinx. Now I'm exploring the possibilities to adapt our company styles.
Especially, we would like to change the appearance of the headers and footers in the PDF manual. Including a company logo and changing the appearance of even and odd pages.
Hence, I included the following preamble in my conf.py with a custom pagestyle using the package fancyhdr.
latex_elements = {
'preamble' : '''\
\\pagestyle{fancy}
\\fancyhf{}
\\fancyhead[LE,RO]{My Header}'''
}
Unfortunately, the headers only changes before begin{document}, afterwards the Sphinx Style File sphinx.sty overwrites somehow my settings.
The following snippet from sphinx.sty might cause the issue:
% Redefine the 'normal' header/footer style when using "fancyhdr" package:
\spx#ifundefined{fancyhf}{}{
% Use \pagestyle{normal} as the primary pagestyle for text.
\fancypagestyle{normal}{
\fancyhf{}
\fancyfoot[LE,RO]{{\py#HeaderFamily\thepage}}
\fancyfoot[LO]{{\py#HeaderFamily\nouppercase{\rightmark}}}
\fancyfoot[RE]{{\py#HeaderFamily\nouppercase{\leftmark}}}
\fancyhead[LE,RO]{{\py#HeaderFamily \#title, \py#release}}
\renewcommand{\headrulewidth}{0.4pt}
\renewcommand{\footrulewidth}{0.4pt}
% define chaptermark with \#chappos when \#chappos is available for Japanese
\spx#ifundefined{#chappos}{}
{\def\chaptermark##1{\markboth{\#chapapp\space\thechapter\space\#chappos\space ##1}{}}}
}
% Update the plain style so we get the page number & footer line,
% but not a chapter or section title. This is to keep the first
% page of a chapter and the blank page between chapters `clean.'
\fancypagestyle{plain}{
\fancyhf{}
\fancyfoot[LE,RO]{{\py#HeaderFamily\thepage}}
\renewcommand{\headrulewidth}{0pt}
\renewcommand{\footrulewidth}{0.4pt}
}
}
What might be a possible workaround?
The table of contents code (in sphinxmanual.cls) ends up with
\ifdefined\fancyhf\pagestyle{normal}\fi
The comment in sphinx.sty says:
% Use \pagestyle{normal} as the primary pagestyle for text.
Thus the simplest should be for your conf.py setting to overwrite the \fancypagestyle{normal}, just re-issue it to your liking.
You will need to wrap the whole latex in \makeatletter...\makeatother if you use \py#HeaderFamily. And use Python raw strings to avoid having to double all backslashes.
in details, here I copy the original definition to conf.py so that it can be customized from there
latex_elements = {
'preamble': """
\makeatletter
\fancypagestyle{normal}{
\fancyhf{}
\fancyfoot[LE,RO]{{\py#HeaderFamily\thepage}}
\fancyfoot[LO]{{\py#HeaderFamily\nouppercase{\rightmark}}}
\fancyfoot[RE]{{\py#HeaderFamily\nouppercase{\leftmark}}}
\fancyhead[LE,RO]{{\py#HeaderFamily \#title, \py#release}}
\renewcommand{\headrulewidth}{0.4pt}
\renewcommand{\footrulewidth}{0.4pt}
% define chaptermark with \#chappos when \#chappos is available for Japanese
\spx#ifundefined{#chappos}{}
{\def\chaptermark##1{\markboth{\#chapapp\space\thechapter\space\#chappos\space ##1}{}}}
}
\makeatother
""",
}
How do I insert code into a LaTeX document? Is there something like:
\begin{code}## Heading ##
...
\end{code}
The only thing that I really need is indentation and a fixed width font. Syntax highlighting could be nice although it is definitely not required.
Use listings package.
Simple configuration for LaTeX header (before \begin{document}):
\usepackage{listings}
\usepackage{color}
\definecolor{dkgreen}{rgb}{0,0.6,0}
\definecolor{gray}{rgb}{0.5,0.5,0.5}
\definecolor{mauve}{rgb}{0.58,0,0.82}
\lstset{frame=tb,
language=Java,
aboveskip=3mm,
belowskip=3mm,
showstringspaces=false,
columns=flexible,
basicstyle={\small\ttfamily},
numbers=none,
numberstyle=\tiny\color{gray},
keywordstyle=\color{blue},
commentstyle=\color{dkgreen},
stringstyle=\color{mauve},
breaklines=true,
breakatwhitespace=true,
tabsize=3
}
You can change default language in the middle of document with \lstset{language=Java}.
Example of usage in the document:
\begin{lstlisting}
// Hello.java
import javax.swing.JApplet;
import java.awt.Graphics;
public class Hello extends JApplet {
public void paintComponent(Graphics g) {
g.drawString("Hello, world!", 65, 95);
}
}
\end{lstlisting}
Here's the result:
You could also use the verbatim environment
\begin{verbatim}
your
code
example
\end{verbatim}
Here is how to add inline code:
You can add inline code with {\tt code } or \texttt{ code }. If you want to format the inline code, then it would be best to make your own command
\newcommand{\code}[1]{\texttt{#1}}
Also, note that code blocks can be loaded from other files with
\lstinputlisting[breaklines]{source.c}
breaklines isn't required, but I find it useful. Be aware that you'll have to specify \usepackage{ listings } for this one.
Update: The listings package also includes the \lstinline command, which has the same syntax highlighting features as the \lstlisting and \lstinputlisting commands (see Cloudanger's answer for configuration details). As mentioned in a few other answers, there's also the minted package, which provides the \mintinline command. Like \lstinline, \mintinline provides the same syntax highlighting as a regular minted code block:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{minted}
\begin{document}
This is a sentence with \mintinline{python}{def inlineCode(a="ipsum)}
\end{document}
Specialized packages such as minted, which relies on Pygments to do the formatting, offer various advantages over the listings package. To quote from the minted manual,
Pygments provides far superior syntax highlighting compared to conventional packages. For example, listings basically only highlights strings, comments and keywords. Pygments, on the other hand, can be completely customized to highlight any token kind the source language might support. This might include special formatting sequences inside strings, numbers, different kinds of identifiers and exotic constructs such as HTML tags.
Minted, whether from GitHub or CTAN, the Comprehensive TeX Archive Network, works in Overleaf, TeX Live and MiKTeX.
It requires the installation of the Python package Pygments; this is explained in the documentation in either source above. Although Pygments brands itself as a Python syntax highlighter, Minted guarantees the coverage of hundreds of other languages.
Example:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{minted}
\begin{document}
\begin{minted}[mathescape, linenos]{python}
# Note: $\pi=\lim_{n\to\infty}\frac{P_n}{d}$
title = "Hello World"
sum = 0
for i in range(10):
sum += i
\end{minted}
\end{document}
Output:
Use Minted.
It's a package that facilitates expressive syntax highlighting in LaTeX using the powerful Pygments library. The package also provides options to customize the highlighted source code output using fancyvrb.
It's much more evolved and customizable than any other package!
A very simple way if your code is in Python, where I didn't have to install a Python package, is the following:
\documentclass[11pt]{article}
\usepackage{pythonhighlight}
\begin{document}
The following is some Python code
\begin{python}
# A comment
x = [5, 7, 10]
y = 0
for num in x:
y += num
print(y)
\end{python}
\end{document}
which looks like:
Unfortunately, this only works for Python.
Since it wasn't yet mentioned here, it may be worth to add one more option, package spverbatim (no syntax highlighting):
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{spverbatim}
\begin{document}
\begin{spverbatim}
Your code here
\end{spverbatim}
\end{document}
Also, if syntax highlighting is not required, package alltt:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{alltt}
\begin{document}
\begin{alltt}
Your code here
\end{alltt}
\end{document}
Use Pygments !
I'm using Latex to write a program listing all my code and I am following this:
http://texblog.wordpress.com/2008/04/02/include-source-code-in-latex-with-listings/
It works, but my code runs of the side of the page. How can I fix this?
Additional question: How can I get it to highlight syntax? I do have lang set to Java.
Try something like this:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{listings}
\usepackage{color}
\usepackage{textcomp}
\definecolor{listinggray}{gray}{0.9}
\definecolor{lbcolor}{rgb}{0.9,0.9,0.9}
\lstset{
language=c,
basicstyle=\scriptsize,
upquote=true,
aboveskip={1.5\baselineskip},
columns=fullflexible,
showstringspaces=false,
extendedchars=true,
breaklines=true,
showtabs=false,
showspaces=false,
showstringspaces=false,
identifierstyle=\ttfamily,
keywordstyle=\color[rgb]{0,0,1},
commentstyle=\color[rgb]{0.133,0.545,0.133},
stringstyle=\color[rgb]{0.627,0.126,0.941},
}
\begin{document}
\begin{lstlisting}
#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
// A line comment
printf("A really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, REALLY long line. && & \n");
return 0;
}
\end{lstlisting}
\end{document}
which produces:

Did you consider
\lstset{...}
breaklines=true -> sets automatic line breaking
breakatwhitespace=false -> automatic breaks happen at whitespace
?
You want to turn on line breaking with
\lstset{breaklines=true}
in the command options. Now you might no like its choices but that is another question.
Instead of including the source directly, include it from a file:
\lstinputlisting{/Volumes/docs/p2k_files_in_qt.sh}
You'll save lots of work doing it that way. Alternatively, if you have to include source into the file, there's lgrind.
\lstset{ %
language=C, % choose the language of the code
basicstyle=\footnotesize, % the size of the fonts that are used for the code
numbers=left, % where to put the line-numbers
numberstyle=\footnotesize, % the size of the fonts that are used for the line-numbers
stepnumber=1, % the step between two line-numbers. If it's 1 each line will be numbered
numbersep=5pt, % how far the line-numbers are from the code
%backgroundcolor=\color{Blue}, % choose the background color. You must add \usepackage{color}
showspaces=false, % show spaces adding particular underscores
showstringspaces=false, % underline spaces within strings
showtabs=false, % show tabs within strings adding particular underscores
frame=single, % adds a frame around the code
tabsize=2, % sets default tabsize to 2 spaces
captionpos=b, % sets the caption-position to bottom
breaklines=true, % sets automatic line breaking
breakatwhitespace=false, % sets if automatic breaks should only happen at whitespace
escapeinside={\%*}{*)}, % if you want to add a comment within your code
% size, font
commentstyle=\fontsize{7}{7}\selectfont,
basicstyle=\ttfamily\fontsize{7}{7}\selectfont,
keywordstyle=\color{red},
commentstyle=\color{blue},
stringstyle=\color{green}
}
Use breaklines=true e. g.:
\lstnewenvironment{bash}
{\lstset{language=bash,breaklines=true,frame=trBL}}
{}
