[Tex/LaTex] Different minted styles for different languages

Question

I am trying to add two different snippets of code to a document, one in Java and one in ObjC. I have been able to set up the languages the way I like them, but I would like to set a different style depending on what language I am using. According to the minted documentation, the command \usemintedstyle[<language>]{<style>} can be used, but I keep on getting errors. This is what I have for now:

\documentclass[]{article}
\usepackage{filecontents}   % for writing to the .m file from within this .tex file
\usepackage{minted}

%Get the nice font for the code
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[scaled=0.8]{beramono}


\newmintedfile[objectiveccode]{objectivec}{
numberblanklines=true,
numbersep=12pt,
numbersep=5pt,
gobble=0,
frame=lines,
framerule=0.4pt,
framesep=1mm,
tabsize=4,
obeytabs=true,
samepage=false, %with this setting you can force the list to appear on the same page
showspaces=false,
showtabs =false,
linenos,
stepnumber=2
}

\newmintedfile[javacode]{java}{
numberblanklines=true,
numbersep=12pt,
numbersep=5pt,
gobble=0,
frame=lines,
framerule=0.4pt,
framesep=1mm,
tabsize=4,
obeytabs=true,
samepage=false, %with this setting you can force the list to appear on the same page
showspaces=false,
showtabs =false,
linenos,
stepnumber=2
}

% ===== CAUSING PROBLEMS =====
\usemintedstyle[objectivec]{xcode}
\usemintedstyle[java]{emacs}

\begin{document}

Prova

\begin{filecontents*}{sampleObjCcode.m} 
#import <stdio.h>

int main( int argc, const char *argv[] ) {
    printf( "hello world\n" );
    return 0;
}
\end{filecontents*}

\begin{filecontents*}{sampleJava.java} 
public class HelloWorld {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.out.println("Hello, World");
    }

}\end{filecontents*}


\objectiveccode{sampleObjCcode.m}
\javacode{sampleJava.java}

\end{document}

Any ideas why it is failing?

Answer 1

Meanwhile this feature is integrated into the distro package minted. So the \usemintedstyle by language will work and output the following for your example:
