General ⇒ lstlisting - behaviour like figure

[mm]

Hello guys,

I can't find the solution for my problem:

I have some code in lstlisting. I want it to be on whole page (like it is in figures - not broken by new page). I have put it in figure tags, but then it is marked as figure, not listing.

So, how can i put listing that won't be break by new page but put on whole one / or how to name figure as listing.

Thanks,
Michal

Read Section 4.3 (Space and placement, p. 26) of the listings manual to make your listings behave like a float with an according caption label.

Hi,

if you don't want your code to float but still want to keep it from splitting, you can use a minipage environment, as the following code suggests:

Code: Select all

\noindent\begin{minipage}{\textwidth}
\begin{lstlisting}
...
(code)
...
\end{lstlisting}
\end{minipage}

Hi. Sorry for brining up an old thread, but I have a question that completely correlates to this topic.

Ok, this solution works perfectly, but is there a way that I can make this permanent, so that I don't always have to write:

Code: Select all

\noindent\begin{minipage}{\textwidth}
\begin{lstlisting}
...
\end{lstlisting}
\end{minipage}

but to only write:

Code: Select all

\begin{lstlisting}
...
\end{lstlisting}

and the rest is automatically observed?

See my last reply and the link for the package manual.

Hi,

float option is actually works fine. But when I put a long code in the manuscript, it is forced to be in only one page, and then most of the code is truncated and outside of the page.

If I remove the float option, usual figures often "split" long codes. It looks ugly.

Does anyone know a workaround?
