Extra space after listings in LaTeX export with minted

Extra space after listings in LaTeX export with minted

[Richard Stanton]

Using the minted package, I get very nice colored listings in the PDF
files generated by exporting to LaTeX, but there's always a lot of extra
space after each listing and before any text that immediately follows.
This seems to be an issue with the minted package itself, but I'm
wondering if anyone has come up with a  simple work-around (short of
inserting negative space after each listing).

Thanks.

It looks like the answer to your question is “sort of”: there are
workarounds, though whether they qualify as simple is largely a matter
of taste.  Check out these two StackOverflow discussions on the topic
(including solutions):

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2318598/how-to-reduce-the-seperation-from-other-text-using-latex-minted
http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/37117/belowskip-on-minted

In general, the TeX StackExchange site (the second link) is a marvelous
resource for LaTeX-related questions.  Many questions are already
answered there (with a usable search interface), and the community is
very friendly and helpful for new questions/users.

Thanks, Aaron. I ended up adding the line

#+LaTeX_HEADER: \addtolength\partopsep{-0.9cm}

to my org file. Not too complicated...


There's still one more (even more) minor problem, which is that minted
always indents the text immediately after a listing, but this I can
probably live with.

Hi Richard,

You should be able to get rid of that indentation by arranging for the
text after the listing end to begin with \noindent{} (in LaTeX).  This
should be as simple, in org, as:

...
#+END_SRC

\noindent{}Lorem ipsum...

I am not sure there is a way to automate the \noindent: LaTeX indents
the beginning of paragraphs, and in org there is no way to have a
paragraph that contains a source listing.  (In latex there is: don’t
leave a blank line after the \end{minted}.  But I don’t think org has a
way to represent/output such a thing.  If I’m wrong about that I hope
Nicolas or someone else knowledgeable will chime in.)

I suppose it would be possible to write a filter to post-process the
LaTeX output, and delete single blank lines after an \end{foo}, and
indicate desired paragraph breaks with double blank lines.

Don't leave a blank line after the #+END_SRC.

You'd think so, but it actually doesn't make a difference. It's indented
even when there's no blank line in the LaTeX file. It's a minted
"feature", I think. I did email the minted author about it, so maybe one
day it'll be fixed.
