"Org" source blocks and minted

"Org" source blocks and minted

[Michael Gauland]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 413 bytes --]

I want to include an "org" source block in a document as an example, and
have it formatted with minted. Unfortunately, minted doesn't seem to
recognize "org" as a language,and the block is missing in the resulting
PDF. For the moment, I've changed this to a "text" source block, but it
would be nice to have syntax highlighting in the export.

Have any of you done this, or something similar?

Kind regards,
Mike

You can write your own pygments lexer:

https://pygments.org/docs/lexerdevelopment

But it seems that someone already did the work of writing a lexer for
Org Mode:

Juan mentioned an Org lexer exists, but another approach that may be of
interest is using Emacs' own font-lock. I wrote a package that's like
HTMLize but works with LaTeX and currently have it sitting in my config.

I plan on submitting a patch to Org at some point on this, but for now:
- https://github.com/tecosaur/engrave-faces
- https://tecosaur.github.io/emacs-config/config.html#pretty-code-blocks

Sample output: all the code blocks in
https://tecosaur.github.io/emacs-config/config.pdf

Since this uses Emacs' font-lock, this means that you can use any
language that you have a syntax-highlighting-mode for :)

Hi  Timothy,

I really like your approach. And it is org/emacscentric! Minted has
never quite convinced me, and gives me some trouble with certain
packages in LuaLaTeX that I have not been able to solve. Thank you for
this promising alternative.

Best regards,

Juan Manuel

Yes, this looks very promising. I'm looking forward to playing with it
when I have more time.
