highlightinglistingsminted
Is there a way to override default options for the minted environment, rather than having to specify them for each and every snippet of code ?
In other words, is there an equivalent to listings's \lstset command ?
AFAIK the minted package is based on fancyvrb, but I couldn't find anything in there either (I don't really read tex so I only looked at the documentation)
Bonus question: why is there so much blank space (about two blank lines) after a minted listing ?
I suppose, it is only missing in minted.sty
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{minted}
\makeatletter
\minted@define@extra{label}
\makeatother
\begin{document}
foo
\begin{minted}[frame=single,label=foobar]{c++}
int main() { return 0; }
int foo() {return 1; }
\end{minted}
bar
\end{document}
Well, you were on the right track. You just change \newmint into \newmintedfile and, after fixing some settings in your MWE, it will compile with the -shell-escape option passed to pdflatex.
The following were the fixes.
openright option for article class, and hence no chapter option for minted as this seems like your settings in your original report file\inputmined. It should be \inputminted.\newmintedfileThe syntax is \newmintedfile[<alias>]{<language>}{<external file>}.
The usage is the same as that of \newmint. If you have explicitly specified its alias, say phpcode then you can use \phpcode{foo.php}, otherwise, file is appended to the language name, in this case you write \phpfile{foo.php}. The documentation was not so good at explaining this but you can find the parallelism with the \newmint command and their definitions.
Here is the file foo.php that I used:
<?php
echo $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'];
?>
And here is the foobar.php file:
<?php
//This is a PHP comment line
/*
This is
a PHP comment
block
*/
?>
And finally the LaTeX code.
\documentclass[preview,border=5]{standalone}
%php syntax highlight
\usepackage[section]{minted}
\definecolor{mintedbackground}{rgb}{0.95,0.95,0.95}
\newmintedfile[phpcode]{php}{
bgcolor=mintedbackground,
fontfamily=tt,
linenos=true,
numberblanklines=true,
numbersep=5pt,
gobble=0,
frame=leftline,
framerule=0.4pt,
framesep=2mm,
funcnamehighlighting=true,
tabsize=4,
obeytabs=false,
mathescape=false
samepage=false, %with this setting you can force the list to appear on the same page
showspaces=false,
showtabs =false,
texcl=false,
}
\usepackage{kantlipsum}
\begin{document}
\phpcode{foo.php}
\kant[1]
\phpcode{foobar.php}
\end{document}
And here is the output
