Code Snippet with Box in LaTeX

Insert code snippet with box using LaTeX

There are some times that you need to include code snippet using LaTeX. Just like markdown, there are ways of formatting a code snippet in a way that can be distinguished from a normal text.

This guide was made by using Overleaf.

Packages Required

• [newfloat]{minted}

• {caption}

\usepackage[newfloat]{minted}
\usepackage{caption}

Environment

Change this accordingly

\newminted{code}{frame=lines,framerule=2pt}
\newenvironment{code}{\captionsetup{type=listing}}{}
\SetupFloatingEnvironment{listing}{name=Code}

This will make \code as a code segment. With caption as Code.

Example

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[newfloat]{minted}
\usepackage{caption}

\newminted{code}{frame=lines,framerule=2pt}
\newenvironment{code}{\captionsetup{type=listing}}{}
\SetupFloatingEnvironment{listing}{name=Code}

\begin{document}

\begin{code}
\begin{minted}[frame=single,framesep=10pt]{c}
#include <stdio.h>
int main(void) {
    printf("Hello World!\n");
    return 0;
}
\end{minted}
\captionof{listing}{Example Code in C: \texttt{hello\_world.c}}
\end{code}

\begin{code}
\begin{minted}[frame=single,framesep=10pt]{python}
if __name__ == "__main__":
    print("Hello World!)
\end{minted}
\captionof{listing}{Example Code in Python: \texttt{hello\_world.py}}
\end{code}


\end{document}

Using github.com/gijs-pennings/latex-homework will make #include as non italic.
