Hello again, I'm still trying to find out why emacs doesn't pick up MINTED instead of LISTINGS to handle code blocks when exporting files from .org to .pdf, via .tex.
I backed-up my previous .emacs file (which had a lot of customization for Beamer, AUCTeX etc.), loaded Nick Dokos' minimal init file, restarted emacs then tried exporting a minimal working example (MWE) of an Org file. IT WORKS!!! (Even though the background color is Black and I'd like it to be White!)
I've tried exporting a more complicated Org file and it works too! (Albeit with a dark background that makes it hard to read some lines).
Now the question is how do I integrate these lines in my old .emacs file so that I can keep all other modes' settings AND export code flawlessly from Org mode?
This is the result of `C-h v org-latex-listings' variable given while .emacs file was open. In truth, this was its value also a couple of days ago, with my old .emacs file active.
------------------------------------------------------------------
org-latex-listings is a variable defined in `ox-latex.el'.
Its value is minted
Original value was nil
------------------------------------------------------------------
Here's the very simple MWE of an Org file:
