LaTeX and syntax highlighting

[Sebastian Rose <sebastian_rose@gmx.de>]

Hi all,




I just discovered writing LaTeX through OrgMode. It's _really_ great!



Only missing thingy is just something like htmlize.el to hihglight code
syntax. Currently my codes look like this here:


\begin{codeblock}
\openbrace \variable{action}: \dqstring{newMap},
\doindent \variable{instance}:  INSTANZ\_NAME, \comment{/* Instanzname dieser VMap */}
\doindent \variable{x}: INT\_X, \comment{/* X-Wert in Pixeln der gewünschten Zoomstufe */}
\doindent \variable{y}: INT\_Y, \comment{/* Y-Wert in Pixeln der gewünschten Zoomstufe */}
\doindent \variable{z}: INT\_Z, \comment{/* Gewünschte Zoomstufe */}
\doindent \variable{rID}: AKTUELLES\_STANDARD\_HIGHLIGHT,
\doindent \variable{type}: TYPE \comment{/* Aktiver Hotel-Typ-Filter */}
\closebrace
\end{codeblock}


In my headers I include my /home/sebastian/develop/lib/latex/code.tex
which does all the formating and stuff (uses the `ifthen' package for
the indentation stuff) and simply sets some faces and defines the
environment `codeblock'. I wonder if it wouldn't be easy to extend
htmlize.el to do this formating for me.


While this is nice to have, since I can use syntaxhighlighting in
headlines this way (document code), I found out about listings.el, which
seems to be part of the texlive distibution (at least I can `usepackage'
it here without extra installations).

See
http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/listings/listings.pdf

It supports refs to linenumbers, supports lots of languages and so on.



With the listings package we could convert

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
...
#+end_src


to


\begin{lstlisting}[language=Lisp]
\dots
\end{lstlisting}



Could something like this be in org-blocks.el or similar? We could then
export highlighted stuff to LaTeX and HTML from the same file.



Regards,
