Publish to latex with syntax highlighting

Kelly — Tue, 01 May 2007 16:02:08 -0400

When I publish a document to html, the blocks of code in the final
document use the colored syntax highlighting corresponding to the
Matlab editor, and are also surrounded by a light gray box. However,
when I publish to Latex, the code remains in black and is not offset
from the rest of the text, making it a little more difficult to
distinguish descriptive text from the code in the final document.

Is there a way to add syntax highlighting to the final Latex
document? There is a small section in the mxdom2latex.xsl file that
seems to have this aim (lines 162 - 180). However, I don't knw much
about Latex coding beyond the very basics, so I may be
misunderstanding it.

For the record, I'm running R2006b beta for Intel Macs on a MacOS X
system.

Thanks,
Kelly

You might want to try the listings package. Here's an example:

-------------------- matlab_listings.tex ----------------------------
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[margin=0.75in]{geometry}
\usepackage{courier}
\usepackage{color}
\usepackage{listings}

\definecolor{dkgreen}{rgb}{0,0.6,0}
\definecolor{gray}{rgb}{0.5,0.5,0.5}

\begin{document}

\lstset{language=Matlab,
 keywords={break,case,catch,continue,else,elseif,end,for,function,
 global,if,otherwise,persistent,return,switch,try,while},
 basicstyle=\ttfamily,
 keywordstyle=\color{blue},
 commentstyle=\color{red},
 stringstyle=\color{dkgreen},
 numbers=left,
 numberstyle=\tiny\color{gray},
 stepnumber=1,
 numbersep=10pt,
 backgroundcolor=\color{white},
 tabsize=4,
 showspaces=false,
 showstringspaces=false}

\begin{lstlisting}
function y = demo(x) % This is a comment.
 str = 'hello there';
 y = x + 1;
end
\end{lstlisting}

\end{document}
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

i created once a customized style sheet for my own use which made use of
the listings package. however, it is nowhere near finished or perfect.
however, editing is pretty straight forward if you have read the most
basic tutorial on xsl. to use it just copy that stuff into some file
ending on .xsl and use it for publishing. below goes the code (i hope it
doesn't get truncated):

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
