Problem solved by the latex directive. Thanks.
The C code is from K&R's book. :)

BTW, I also use some code like this in headlines (\textcolor, \fbox),
where I guess the latex directive can not work. Is there any solutions
for this situation or any better way to colorize the text while also
support to export to other target (e.g. html)?
