minted
How can I display the % character with minted without it being considered a comment? If I write \minted{%} the rest of the line is considered a comment, and if I write \minted{\%} minted displays both characters: \%
Thanks.
If I use \mintinline[style=bw]{c}{%} it is displayed well. However if I use the command that I defined: \newcommand{\mintbw}[1]{\mintinline[style=bw]{c}{#1}} and write \mintbw{%} the % character is considered a comment.
Problem solved! Thanks.
See Martin's comment for the reason why your method doesn't work. See the minted manual, under "Defining shortcuts", for the \newminted command, which does what you want (but via an environment rather than a command):
\newminted[CppSourceCode]{c++}{linenos=true, mathescape, xleftmargin=1cm}
allows
\begin{CppSourceCode}
c++ ; // goes here
\end{CppSourceCode}
If you prefer a command, use \newmint instead - see the manual for details.
You have to escape the special characters:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{minted}
\begin{document}
\mint{perl}|$_[0]|
\end{document}
The character | stands for an arbitrary (nonspecial) character that doesn't appear in the text to be processed, like for \verb.
You might consider using pythontex:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{pythontex}
\begin{document}
\pygment{perl}|$_[0]|
\end{document}
This requires, instead of running pdflatex with the -shell-escape option, running the postprocessor pythontex:
pdflatex filename
pythontex filename
pdflatex filename
Running pythontex is necessary only if some new code is added or existing code has been modified.
In this particular case, also
\pygment{perl}{$_[0]}
works.
The result is the same with both packages, because they both use pygmentize.

Just use the
mintedenvironment, not the\mintedcommand, which is 'possible', but will not provide what is requested.Of course, the correct language must be specified, e.g.
TeXorphp(if I am remembering correctly), where%is a comment character.
