General ⇒ Creating a line break in a code sample

Just when you thought it was safe to ignore this thread and move on...

I've been reviewing the list of supported languages by listings in the documentation, and notice that C# isn't listed. How critical an issue is this? I've used both the \lstset{language=C} and \lstset{language=VBScript} tags and compiled the document as a PDF and can't see any difference in presentation.

Any ideas?

Any ideas?

It's not a big deal. It's easy to augment the language definition within your TeX to add any words you use that are missing. For example...

Code: Select all

\lstset{language=Matlab,
    morekeywords={xlim,ylim,var,alpha,factorial,poissrnd,normpdf,normcdf,getfield},
    morekeywords=[2]{on, off, interp},
    morekeywords=[3]{my_function},
    morecomment=[l][\color{blue}]{...}}

The first morekeywords line adds MATLAB functions not included in the default set. The second line includes MATLAB function parameters. The third line has user-defined functions. The morecomment turns text after line continuation (...) into a comment. Each line gets styled differently (and you can change those styles in a similar way).

See the listings documentation for more information. In particular, check out the "Language definitions" section 3.2 for information on how to use morekeywords, morecomment, and morestring. Of course, you can define your own new language entirely as well.

In the case of C#, nearly everything is going to be the same as C++ (or even Java), but there might be small differences. For example, C# has its own way of handling mutable class members (the keyword they use escapes me for a second). If you need such a construct, you can add it pretty easily.

And if worse comes to worst, everything is displayed but it's just not displayed as pretty as it could.

Cheers for that, Ted. Thanks.

Trip,

I've just seen mentioned in another thread that somebody wrote a listing environment for C#. I thought it might interest you.

Cheers,

Great catch, Tomek. Thanks for letting me know.
