[Tex/LaTex] How to prevent a \lstinputlisting being split across pages

inputlistingspage-breaking

This question shows how to prevent a long listing from being split across several pages when the code is written directly into the tex file. I want to achieve the same effect when including code in separate files using \lstinputlisting like so:

\lstinputlisting[label=lst:mylist,caption=A Caption]{code/parametrised.xml}

How do I modify the listing environment definition given in the above question to do so?

\lstnewenvironment{code}[1][]%
  {\minipage{\linewidth} 
   \lstset{basicstyle=\ttfamily\footnotesize,frame=single,#1}}
  {\endminipage}

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Edit: The question has been rephrased for clarity – The answers here relate to preventing a listing from being split across pages by ensuring it's treated like a unbreakable float. Howvever, this also means that listings longer than a page will not be paginated and will run off the bottom of the page.

declare the listing to a float, then it will be automatically be set in a box:

\lstinputlisting[float=h]{<file>}

[Tex/LaTex] Split beamer notes across multiple notes pages

The closest thing I know is frame overlays, in Beamer a frame can have several overlays (when you use \pause), and you can have different notes for each overlay.

Now this is not exactly what you are asking for. Maybe you can still use this as a workaround, if there's some way to generate "invisible" overlays just for the purpose of adding more notes pages. (Just using pause with no content after it will produce duplicated slides, I guess.)

On the other hand, if you are using this to show the regular slide in one screen and the notes slide in another, what you want is exactly to add several \pauses to have as many overlays as you want, and split your notes through the overlays, so it will still show the same slide when showing the next notes slide.

Like this:

\documentclass[ignorenonframetext,pdfusetitle,17pt]{beamer}
\setbeameroption{show notes}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}

[Tex/LaTex] Algorithm over two pages, with itemized lists

You can combine any number of algorithmic environments within your algorithm environment. The following MWE shows how you can do this to create a section called Inputs and one called Steps while still being able to break the algorithm over more than one page (with \algstore and \algrestore).

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{algorithm}% http://ctan.org/pkg/algorithm
\usepackage{algpseudocode}% http://ctan.org/pkg/algorithmicx
\usepackage{caption}% http://ctan.org/pkg/caption

\begin{document}

\begin{algorithm}
  \caption{My algorithm}
  \textbf{Inputs}% Inputs section
  \begin{algorithmic}[1]
    \State Input $A$
    \State Input $B$
    \State Input $C$
  \end{algorithmic}
  \bigskip

  \textbf{Steps}% Steps section
  \begin{algorithmic}[1]
    \Procedure{Euclid}{$a,b$}\Comment{The g.c.d. of a and b}
      \State $r\gets a\bmod b$
      \While{$r\not=0$}\Comment{We have the answer if r is 0}
        \State $a\gets b$
        \State $b\gets r$
        \algstore{myalg}
  \end{algorithmic}
\end{algorithm}

\clearpage

\begin{algorithm}
  \ContinuedFloat
  \caption{My algorithm (continued)}
  \begin{algorithmic}
      \algrestore{myalg}

        \State $r\gets a\bmod b$
      \EndWhile\label{euclidendwhile}
      \State \textbf{return} $b$\Comment{The gcd is b}
    \EndProcedure
  \end{algorithmic}
\end{algorithm}

\end{document}
