listings – Typeset source code listings using LaTeX
The package enables the user to typeset programs (programming code)
within LaTeX; the source code is read directly by TeX—no front-end
processor is needed. Keywords, comments and strings can
be typeset using different styles (default is bold for keywords,
italic for comments and no special style for strings).
Support for hyperref is provided.
To use, \usepackage{listings}, identify the language of
the object to typeset, using a construct like:
\lstset{language=Python}, then use environment
lstlisting for inline code. External files may be
formatted using \lstinputlisting to process a given file
in the form appropriate for the current language. Short
(in-line) listings are also available, using either
\lstinline|...| or |...| (after defining the
| token with the \lstMakeShortInline command).
