To have syntax highlighting for codes in LaTex

Question

I would like to know how you can syntax highlighting in a LaTex document for codes.

An example of such document is this guide about a Pyhton library and Page 9.

Perhaps, the document is not built by LaTex. Perhaps, by Markdown and with some addons.

Answer 1

I'm guessing that you can look at Prettify. You might be able to create a custom CSS file for LaTeX and get Prettify set up for it...

I use this plug-in on my website: http://rsolberg.com/ViewBlog/2

StackOverflow also uses it!

Answer 2

The listings package is one way to include syntax-highlighted source code listings in a LaTeX document. For other options, see the relevant entry in the TeX FAQ.
