I'm very fascinated about document markup language and preparation system for the TeX typesetting program
called LaTeX. I wrote using it my
BSc thesis, curriculum vitae, cover letters, laboratory reports and many many more :-). Furthermore I am currently working on my
MSc thesis of course writing it in LaTeX.
It has a lot of advantages - it is absolutely free, cross-platform, open-source (LPPL licence), automation generation components such as table of contents, bibliography, index etc., very good support for mathematical formulas and from community and obviously it can create documents look very nice and professionally in many widely known formats e.g. PDF, PostScript, HTML, DVI etc.
So, I am gona to show some piece of code which helps you create wonderful listing of your code in LaTeX ;) which is widely used for instance in books :
 |
| LaTeX code listing |
Copy and paste this style to your LaTeX project :
\usepackage{listings}
\usepackage{courier}
\lstset{
basicstyle=\footnotesize\ttfamily, % Standardschrift
%numbers=left, % Ort der Zeilennummern
numberstyle=\tiny, % Stil der Zeilennummern
%stepnumber=2, % Abstand zwischen den Zeilennummern
numbersep=5pt, % Abstand der Nummern zum Text
tabsize=2, % Groesse von Tabs
extendedchars=true, %
breaklines=true, % Zeilen werden Umgebrochen
keywordstyle=\color{red},
frame=b,
% keywordstyle=[1]\textbf, % Stil der Keywords
% keywordstyle=[2]\textbf, %
% keywordstyle=[3]\textbf, %
% keywordstyle=[4]\textbf, \sqrt{\sqrt{}} %
stringstyle=\color{white}\ttfamily, % Farbe der String
showspaces=false, % Leerzeichen anzeigen ?
showtabs=false, % Tabs anzeigen ?
xleftmargin=17pt,
framexleftmargin=17pt,
framexrightmargin=5pt,
framexbottommargin=4pt,
%backgroundcolor=\color{lightgray},
showstringspaces=false % Leerzeichen in Strings anzeigen ?
}
\lstloadlanguages{% Check Dokumentation for further languages ...
%[Visual]Basic
%Pascal
%C
%C++
%XML
%HTML
Java
}
%\DeclareCaptionFont{blue}{\color{blue}}
%\captionsetup[lstlisting]{singlelinecheck=false, \
labelfont={blue}, textfont={blue}}
\usepackage{caption}
\DeclareCaptionFont{white}{\color{white}}
\DeclareCaptionFormat{listing}{\colorbox[cmyk] \
{0.43, 0.35, 0.35,0.01}{\parbox{\textwidth} \
{\hspace{15pt}#1#2#3}}}
\captionsetup[lstlisting]{format=listing,labelfont=white, \
textfont=white,singlelinecheck=false, margin=0pt, \
font={bf,footnotesize}}
Then use this code in LaTeX to invoke source code listing :
\lstinputlisting[label=samplecode,caption=Description]{code/foo.java}
