Wishlist: indicate language in LaTeX export of literal source examples

Wishlist: indicate language in LaTeX export of literal source examples

[Hsiu-Khuern Tang]

(Resending because of earlier problems -- my apologies if this is a duplicate!)

Hi,

Currently, literal examples (#+BEGIN_EXAMPLE and #+BEGIN_SRC) are exported to

\begin{verbatim}
...
\end{verbatim}

in LaTeX.  For #+BEGIN_SRC blocks, could we indicate the language in a
LaTeX comment, e.g.,

#+BEGIN_SRC R
...
#+END_SRC

becomes

% R
\begin{verbatim}
...
\end{verbatim}


I'm trying to post-process the LaTeX output, and knowing the language would
help me.

Thanks!

Hi Hsiu-Khuern,

This may be overkill, but you could try the following which will
indicate the source-code language in the generated .tex

;; tell org to use listings
(setq org-export-latex-listings t)

If you actually want to use the listings package you can also include
the following

;; you must include the listings package
(add-to-list 'org-export-latex-packages-alist '("" "listings"))
;; if you want colored source code then you need to include the color package
(add-to-list 'org-export-latex-packages-alist '("" "color"))

in either case a block such as

#+begin_src R
...
#+end_src

will export to

\lstset{language=R}
\begin{lstlisting}
...
\end{lstlisting}

Best -- Eric

Hi Eric,

Thanks for telling me about this solution.  It is somewhat of an
overkill, but I'll take it :)  The listings documentation is also
quite impressive.
