[Tex/LaTex] How to get continuos line numbers for minted code blocks

codefancyvrbformattingline-numberingminted

I use minted in following way:

\documentclass[a4paper, 11pt, twoside]{article}
\usepackage{xltxtra}
\usepackage{xunicode}
\usepackage{polyglossia}
\usepackage[svgnames]{xcolor}

% Syntax higlight
\usepackage{minted}
\usemintedstyle{vim}
\newminted{bash}{bgcolor=Beige, fontfamily=tt,
  gobble=2, linenos, numbersep=-3pt}
\newmint{bash}{}
\renewcommand{\theFancyVerbLine}{
  \sffamily
  \textcolor{BlueViolet}{
    \scriptsize
    \oldstylenums{
      \arabic{FancyVerbLine}
      }
    }
  }

\begin{document}

AAAA

\begin{bashcode}
  BBBB
  CCCC  
\end{bashcode}

DDDD

\begin{bashcode}
  EEEE
  FFFF 
\end{bashcode}

GGGG
\end{document}

With this settings I have separate line number for each code block, i.e.

1 AAAA
2 BBBB

and later

1 EEEE
2 FFFF

I'd like to get continuous all the time increasing line numbers, i.e.

1 AAAA
2 BBBB

and later

3 EEEE
4 FFFF

According to fancyvrb documentation I tried to add option firstnumber=last to \newminted definition, but it produces totally weird numbers, e.g. first code block starts with 16 and ends with 32, next starts with 43…

Best Answer

It looks like you are using minted 1.7 or earlier. Version 2.0 and later includes patches for some fancyvrb bugs. This should make firstnumber=last work correctly. (At least, it works for me.) Also, since 2.0 there is a package option langlinenos that does per-language line numbering when firstnumber=last, so that you can keep bash line numbers separate from any other code.

If this doesn't work for you with minted 2.0+, then there is probably a bug in minted.
