code listings - joaomlourenco/novathesis GitHub Wiki
This is the LaTeX native method for inserting code listings. It typesets the contents as is using a typewriter-like font. But dones not provide any type of fontification.
\begin{verbatim}
#include <stdio.h>
int main() {
printf ("hello world\n");
}
\end{verbatim}The package “verbatim” extended the native verbatim evironemnt with some new features, including the command \verbatiminput{finalename} that icludes the contents of a file as a verbatim environment.
The listings package ®memebr to ) creates its own evironment for code listings. This new environment is very customizable and reading the documentation is strongly advised. Still… if you are lazy, here are some suggestions:
\usepackage{listings} % Fontification of source code listings

\begin{lstlisting}[language=C]
#include <stdio.h>
int main() {
printf ("hello world\n");
}
\end{lstlisting}The “minted” package uses Pygments for highlighting the code which supports just about any language you can think of. There is a good tutorial for the use of minted in the Overleaf documentation pages.
NOTE: if you use “minted” you must invoke LaTeX with the -shell-escape flag!
\usepackage{minted}

printf ("hello world\n");
}
\end{minted}
