General ⇒ Problems with newcommand and newenviornment

[minofifa]

Hi everyone

I would like to save myself some typing by creating a macro for typesetting sourcecode examples. I would like to do something like this:

\newcommand{\pythonCode}[1] {\begin{lstlisting}[backgroundcolor=\color{pythonColor}]}#1\end{lstlisting}}

or this:

\newenvironment{pythonCode}[0]
{\begin{lstlisting}[backgroundcolor=\color{pythonColor}]}
{\end{pythonCode}

However, both of these approaches produce errors. Can somebody provide assistance on how solve such a problem? thank you

Hi,

try the \lstnewenvironment command, described in the section Environments of the package documentation (pp 40ff)
