[Tex/LaTex] lstinline error “ended by EOL” in dtsyntax

listings

I'm using the package dtsyntax to highlight code text based on listings. For in-line annotation they make a new command \modelica{ } based on lstinline as follows :

\newcommand{\modelica}[1]{\lstinline[basicstyle=\ttfamily,language=modelica]|#1|}

But when i use this as follows

this is a test concerning highlighting \modelica{"modelica"} in LaTeX ...

I get the following error which i can not trace back :

Package Listings Error: lstinline ended by EOL.

can anyone help me with this ?

If you only have the one language in your document, you could add the following to your preamble:

\lstset{basicstyle=\ttfamily, language=modelica}
\lstMakeShortInline{|}

And then you can just write |"modelica"| and that should work. (I haven't tested this because I don't have dtsyntax)

The \lstset macro sets up global formatting options for all instances of \lstinline and lstlistings and similar environments. The \lstMakeShortVerb is optional, and allows you to specify a symbol that can be quickly used to enclose text to be "lstinlined".

The "ended by EOL" error suggests that the problem has something to do with linebreaks, but if the code is as you say it is, and if removing the " makes things work, then I am stumped...

[Tex/LaTex] lstlisting: how to align highlighted code

Solved the problem! I added: columns=fullflexible.

I should mention that the description of fullflexible on the documentation seems counterintuitive to me in regards to what is actually doing. This because it appears to indicate that fixed keeps columns "aligned" and flexible "destroys" columns to make sure the original font alignment is respected. However, fixed does not work but fullflexible does. If someone cares to explain why I'd appreciate it.

See section 2.10: listings pdf.

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{listings}
\lstset{
  basicstyle=\ttfamily\large,
  breakatwhitespace=false,
  breaklines=true,
  escapeinside={\%*}{*},
  columns=fullflexible
}

\usepackage{color}
\definecolor{mycolorGreenOne}{rgb}{0, 0.7, 0}
\newcommand*{\listingsHigh}[1]{\textcolor{red}{#1}}
\newcommand*{\LighthighOne}{\color{cyan}}

\begin{document}
\begin{lstlisting}
My text: %*\LighthighOne Hello world!* Goodbye!
My text: Hello world! Goodbye!
My text: %*\listingsHigh{Hello world!}* Goodbye!
\end{lstlisting}
\end{document}

[Tex/LaTex] More sophisticated syntax highlighting of Prolog code

Not quite a direct answer to your question, but I recommend the rather wonderful package minted. It uses pygments to highlight a wide variety of languages. Keep in mind that you'll need to pass -shell-escape to latex so that it can call out to pygments. Documentation here (pdf).

Frankly, I switched to minted because setting up anything complex in listings quickly got out of hand for my tastes.
