codeinline()
I am trying to add some inline python code into my report with color in an box like following:
As you can see "matrix text is red coloured embedded in a box"
I can add inline colour code using the following method:
CVXOPT extends the built-in Python objects with two matrix objects: a {\color{red}\texttt{matrix}} object for dense
Which produces the following output:
It is almost perfect except a box around the code. How I can have a box around the code?
As others have pointed out, this is because minted only activates mathescape inside comments.
FWIW, the same is true for the t-vim module in ConTeXt. It is similar to the minted package for LaTeX, but uses vim instead of pygments for syntax highlighting.
t-vim provides an option to load an arbitrary vim file before the source code is parsed. So, it is possible to change the parser on the fly. For example, to identify docstrings as comments, you can use the vim file given in this thread in the vim mailing list.
\usemodule[vim]
\startvimrc[name=python-docstring]
syn match pythonBlock ":$" nextgroup=pythonDocString skipempty skipwhite
syn region pythonDocString matchgroup=Normal start=+[uU]\='+ end=+'+ skip=+\\\\\|\\'+ contains=pythonEscape,@Spell contained
syn region pythonDocString matchgroup=Normal start=+[uU]\="+ end=+"+ skip=+\\\\\|\\"+ contains=pythonEscape,@Spell contained
syn region pythonDocString matchgroup=Normal start=+[uU]\="""+ end=+"""+ contains=pythonEscape,@Spell contained
syn region pythonDocString matchgroup=Normal start=+[uU]\='''+ end=+'''+ contains=pythonEscape,@Spell contained
hi def link pythonDocString Comment
\stopvimrc
\definevimtyping[PYTHON][syntax=python, extras=python-docstring]
\starttext
\startPYTHON[escape=on]
def naive(a,x):
"""
lorem ipsum....
this code will be escaped (note no spaces)
\math{a=\{a_0,a_1,a_2,a_3,\dots,a_n\}}
"""
# this code will be escaped
p = a[0] # \math{p=\sqrt{\frac{1}{3}}}
y = x
for ai in a[1:]:
p = p + ai*y
y = y*x
return p
\stopPYTHON
\stoptext
which gives:
One difference in t-vim is that you need to use \math{...} (or \m{...}) to enable math mode rather than $...$. As with minted and listings do not use spaces in math mode.
To do something similar in minted, you will need to change the python parser so that it identifies docstrings as comments.
The following syntax makes it easier to use "escaped" (or LaTeX) content within \lstinline, and might be what you're after. There seems to be no particular need to use specially-assigned characters (like x and y) and the usual mathescape option works (escaping between $...$):
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{listings}% http://ctan.org/pkg/listings
\lstset{mathescape,basicstyle=\ttfamily}% Allow escaping to LaTeX inside $..$
\begin{document}
\lstinline|x$\lbrace$y|
\lstinline_x$\mbox{\textbraceleft}$y_
\lstinline!x{$\partial$}y!
\end{document}

You can simply put it inside an
\fbox{...}:Or, if you want rounded corners, use
\ovalbox{...}from thefancyboxpackage:
