General ⇒ Insert and run C++, Java, Python, PHP Code in LaTeX

[kornaros]

As I know Lua(LaTeX) could have some parts of a Lua script between \begin and \end{document}. Is it possible to insert C++ (or Java or Python or PHP or Mathematica or etc... ) code in LaTeX? (I am newbie so please answer me by a simple example, if this is possible)


Thanks
Charis.

Hi Charis,

with LuaTeX you can load extension modules written in C (for example). The lualatex-platform is such a module. It does not much, just querying system fonts, but could serve as an example.

Maybe it is the package listings you are looking for?

Hi Charis,

just for clarifying, the recommended listings package is for displaying source code, it offers many features such as language specific syntax highlighting. So it also may answer your question about inserting code.

I just guessed you would like to execute code as well.
