[Tex/LaTex] pandoc LaTex change ` backtick highlight

markdownpandoc

am using pandoc along with LaTex to create pdf output.

I am highlighting some code using ` backticks.

The text within the backtick is just highlighted using a different font.

How can I change the color of the highlighted text along with the background color.

Note that this is for in-line highlighting.

At the Pandoc user guide you can find that:

Pandoc will automatically highlight syntax in fenced code blocks that are marked with a language name. The Haskell library highlighting-kate is used for highlighting, which works in HTML, Docx, and LaTeX/PDF output. To see a list of language names that pandoc will recognize, type pandoc --list-highlight-languages.

The color scheme can be selected using the --highlight-style option. The default color scheme is pygments, which imitates the default color scheme used by the Python library pygments (though pygments is not actually used to do the highlighting). To see a list of highlight styles, type pandoc --list-highlight-styles.

To disable highlighting, use the --no-highlight option.

Your answer is right there, if I run pandoc --list-highlight-styles I get:

pygments
tango
espresso
zenburn
kate
monochrome
breezedark
haddock

Your question is for inline highlighting, but you should change for the three backticks syntax if you want customized code highlighting.

Instead of <...> as the delimiters, you need to use \langle...\rangle:

blah blah $|\left\langle R_j^{(x)},g_j^{(x)}\right\rangle|$ blah

You're almost there and the answer you link has the solution.

First create a new file in your preferred editor and add the lines:

% Contents of listings-setup.tex
\usepackage{xcolor}

\lstset{
    basicstyle=\ttfamily,
    numbers=left,
    numberstyle=\footnotesize,
    stepnumber=2,
    numbersep=5pt,
    backgroundcolor=\color{black!10},
    showspaces=false,
    showstringspaces=false,
    showtabs=false,
    tabsize=2,
    captionpos=b,
    breaklines=true,
    breakatwhitespace=true,
    breakautoindent=true,
    linewidth=\textwidth
}

Then save this file as listings-setup.tex. It is all there is to do. Now compile your file with:

pandoc --listings -H listings-setup.tex --toc -V geometry:"left=1cm, top=1cm, right=1cm, bottom=2cm" -V fontsize=12pt test.md -o test.pdf

And your code block might wrap appropriately.
