Lines of code go off the page

Post by captain_thunder »

Sorry if there was a more appropriate forum for this, but I wasn't really sure.

I'm currently using the listings package, along with the lstinputlisting command to include source files containing code in a LaTeX document. However, some of the lines in the code are quite long, and run off the page.

Is there any way to make lstinputlisting use a smaller font size so all of the lines fit on the page? Or perhaps make the lines auto-wrap around? Or really any solution at all that doesn't involve editing the source files.

Thanks for the help.

Hi,

you can use the breaklines option; refer to the package documentation for further information.
