Publish to Latex: lstlisting instead of verbatim

Uwe Brauer — Tue, 24 Feb 2009 14:09:01 -0500

Hello

may I propose to use the lstlisting environment for Latex files instead of verbatim. Lstlisting has much better support for Matlab than verbatim, concerning the formatting of Matlab commands.

I looked at using listing, but was worried about introducing another dependency.

looking at your email address I see that you are a working for mathworks.

Which dependecies are you afraid off?

I'm not really a LaTeX expert, so I don't know I've got this right. My understanding is that this is a separate package that the user would have to install separately.

Well some years ago, this was correct, but meanwhile the most popular latex distribution (texlive for the linux world and miktex) include lslistings.

To be on the save side it could be implemented optionally:
publish('foo.m','latex','lslistings')

or something like this

Thanks for the info, Uwe. I'll put this back in the enhancement pile.

Just so you know, you can copy toolbox/matlab/codetools/private/mxdom2latex.xsl, modify it to your liking, and specify it as a custom stylesheet.

Great! I do this, the only thing I am uncertain about is how to specify it as a custom stylesheet, but I would just make a backup copy of the old one and modify the mxdom2latex.xsl
