The listings package uses multiple keywords to control various colors 
(background, keywords, comments, ...), which you will need to set.  So:


1.  Add something to load your favorite color package (most likely 
color.sty or xcolor.sty) to the preamble.  LyX (at least as of version 
1.5.6) does not do this automatically unless something else in the 
document triggers it.  For instance, you can say 
\usepackage[svgnames]{xcolor}, which gives you access to the svgnames 
palette of colors.


2.  Right click the gray (or is it 'gray' for a color and 'grey' for a 
colour?) handle of the listings inset.  Select the language on the Main 
Settings tab, then switch to the Advanced tab.  You can type a question 
mark (?) in the box to get a list of known parameters.  Type in your 
choices in the format key=value.  You can find the relevant parameters 
in the documentation for the listings package.  LyX is fairly smart 
about adding braces as needed if you just type one entry per line, and 
as you type parameter names it will show you a list of possible 
completions on the left (but, AFAIK, won't auto-complete for you, at 
least as of version 1.5.6).  For example (using svgnames)


commentstyle=\color{DarkGreen}
keywordstyle=\color(Blue}

does exactly what you would expect.  Note that you can fiddle with other 
style attributes (such as putting keywords in italics) as well.

syntax highlighting for inline source code

2006-08-18 Thread John Pye
Hi all

In some Latex documentation for various things, I have seen source code
snippets inserted that show up nicely with syntax highlighting. Is there
any way I can do that with LyX?

So for example, let's say I write an algorithm using some python code. I
want to put the code into a report, and explain it. Where the code
appears in my report, I would like the keywords to appear bold, and the
variables to appear blue, etc, etc -- but I want LyX to sort that all
out automatically.

It seems that the 'highlight' tool will be of use, however I'm not sure
how one can use it:
http://www.andre-simon.de/index.html

This would be a bit like using the 'conversion filters' used for
graphics, but it would need to apply somehow to text. I'd be quite happy
with an ERT way of doing this -- anything really.

Cheers
JP

Lyx does not have direct support, but yes - there is an ERT way.
\usepackage{listings}
in the preamble, then have a look at
http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/listings/listings-1.3.pdf
for details on how you use it.

This package offer:
* syntax higlighting for:
  - most programming languages, included
  - your own custom languages, if you set that up
* customizable, you can decide what the highlight will look like
* highlighting for code that you type into ERT
* higlighting for complete source code files that you include
  without having to type them into lyx.  Very convenient, change the
  real source and your lyx document changes too. . .

Don't be scared by the 50 pages of pdf documentation, getting
started with python should be as simple as:

\lstset{language=Python}
\begin{lstlisting}
 if (a == 5) x = y+3;
 else x=17;
\end{lstlisting}

Or:

\lstinputlisting{myfile.py}

to pull in an entire file.  It doesn't have to be the entire file,
you can use more arguments to pull out just the lines you want.

That sounds like a thoroughly bad idea. It is true that sometimes you

Re: Editors for LaTeX-files with syntax highlighting

2006-02-10 Thread Bruce Muirhead
Hi folks,
I come from a purely humanities background, and the interesting thing
about what has been said here is that, the more I use lyx, the more I
realise that I need to know tex/latex.
For that reason I am now patiently going through beginners latex
books,
using gedit- I am not yet ready to face emacs+auctex. (I use emacs only
for the most basic of editing when X won't behave and I need to use a
console to fix it).
This list and the issues discussed on it have brought  me to the
realisation that I actually need to learn latex in order to make the
best use of lyx. Per haps I may eventually cease using lyx, but I doubt
it: lyx has replaced all normal word processors in my life: the
quality of it's output on the printed page, and in other formats, is
infinitely superior to any other writing tool I have used. Knowing latex
more deeply can only improve my use of it. :-)
Generally, a big thank you to everyone on this list, because
just reading through your comments is an invaluable learning experience
for me. And, of course, to the lyx developers, latex authors, Donald
Knuth,and is there anyone I have forgotten? (Of course there is!)
Cheers

Bruce

That sounds like a thoroughly bad idea. It is true that sometimes you

Hi folks,
I come from a purely humanities background, and the interesting thing
about what has been said here is that, the more I use lyx, the more I
realise that I need to know tex/latex.
For that reason I am now patiently going through beginners latex
books,
using gedit- I am not yet ready to face emacs+auctex. (I use emacs only
for the most basic of editing when X won't behave and I need to use a
console to fix it).
This list and the issues discussed on it have brought  me to the
realisation that I actually need to learn latex in order to make the
best use of lyx. Per haps I may eventually cease using lyx, but I doubt
it: lyx has replaced all normal word processors in my life: the
quality of it's output on the printed page, and in other formats, is
infinitely superior to any other writing tool I have used. Knowing latex
more deeply can only improve my use of it. :-)
Generally, a big thank you to everyone on this list, because
just reading through your comments is an invaluable learning experience
for me. And, of course, to the lyx developers, latex authors, Donald
Knuth,and is there anyone I have forgotten? (Of course there is!)
Cheers

I believe Emacs works ok under windows but requires some major hocus pocus to

IIRC, texmaker is a Windows Kile-like editor.

There are versions of Emacs out there that are precompiled with AUCTeX 
and preview-latex (actually, one and the same thing in the latest 
version). I have it running under Windows XP SP2 and it works quite well 
as long as I don't try to preview in PDFLaTeX mode. Installation was 
easy, I just had to run an executable. In fact I am liking the 
Emacs-AUCTeX-preview-latex combination so much that I have been working

never need anything but Lyx (I am a LaTeX user for many years, though, 
and know quite a few of the commands I need---Lyx is perfect for those

To get the precompiled Emacs (I have 22.0.50) with AUCTeX (I have 11.81, 
but 11.82 is ready, I believe) you can Google emacs+auctex-w32. I just 
did it, and found this mirror:

http://mirrors.ircam.fr/pub/gnu/alpha/gnu/auctex/

Hope this helps.

Emacs and Xemacs have their own Windows installers and
can be used to program in several languages and send email.
Kile doesn't run natively on Windows, but perhaps with Cygwin. 





Editors for LaTeX-files with syntax highlighting

2006-02-02 Thread Uwe Stöhr

Hello LyXers,

the next version of the windows installer will have support for editors 
with which LaTeX-files can be viewed with highlighted syntax. Currently 
I have built in support for jEdit, WinShell, TeXnicCenter, WinEdt, and 
WinTeX.
The first editor that is found on the system will be set as viewer for 
LaTeX-files within LyX.


Do you kow other editors that offer syntax-highlighting for LaTeX and 
run on Windows?


thanks and regards
Uwe

A side question -- does anyone know of further developments of a (vim) 
syntax file for the LyX file format? Someone had posted the beginnings 
of one a while ago.

[Feature Request] ERT-Syntax-highlighting

2002-03-05 Thread Niklas Werner

Hi All!

After hacking loads of ERT into LyX (psfrag)

- Are there any plans to let LyX behave better in ERT-Mode? ie not 
insert \par or \centering (or whatever my paragraph may be), but have an:
\begin{ERT}
do nothing except the ERT 
\end{ERT} 
(I suppose the 120cvs ERT-inset is supposed to behave like this, though 
I haven't had the time to check it thoroughly)

- furthermore is it remotely possible to have the ERT 
syntax-highlighted, or at least having the corresponding brackets and 
braces shown? (Maybe use vim's latexvim-file?)

Have fun*

Niklas

Do you that besides the inline-ERT (toggled with ^L) there is also a LaTeX
paragraph style (to be found in the List on the toolbar, also (if I am
right) M-p x)

Furthermore, the ERT-inset is available also on LyX 1.1.6:

the ert-insert command produces an ERT-box you can use for ERT you want to hide:

Press ESC-x (or Alt-x on many implementations) to go to the Status-line and
write ert-insert (!!Attention: ert-insert != ert-inset !!).

 - furthermore is it remotely possible to have the ERT 
 syntax-highlighted, or at least having the corresponding brackets and 
 braces shown? (Maybe use vim's latex.vim-file?)

What I was thinking about is a LyX support for psfrag:

Is there a way to write a paragraph style for a LaTeX command with 2
arguments? (How is this done for Description??)

(otherwise, this is a strong feature request: have Styles with additional
arguments. This would also enrich the usability of LyX for commands and
environments with optional arguments.)

just now, a psfraq Style would only let you replace the command

  \psfrag{fx}{$f_{x_2}$}
  
with

  fx}{$f_{x_2}$
  
in the psfrag Style and with the }{ in ERT :-( This is why I did not write
that style yet.
