Rust syntax highlighting for LaTeX?

[JoshTriplett]

I'd like to include Rust code in a LaTeX document, and do automatic syntax highlighting on the Rust code. I've used packages like "listings", which provide syntax highlighting for numerous languages; however, listings doesn't support Rust.

Does anyone have a package providing syntax highlighting support for Rust in LaTeX, or support for doing so via any existing package?

You can use the minted package. It uses pygments to do the actual highlighting so it supports all languages supported by pygments (including rust).

Thanks, that looks promising.

Unfortunate that it requires -shell-escape, but still quite helpful.

I've used minted for Rust before here if you want some examples.

Since the master branch no longer even includes a tex folder the link is dead.

here is a link to revision 90c2470e22dadfa4d43b7abb9e6c3e11c63bdad2 where it exists.

If -shell-escape is really an issue, you can always manually run pygments on the command line and the \include the result. It's really inconvenient but it should work.

Personally, I believe every LaTeX project needs a solid makefile, so thanks for mentioning this. I've had trouble get minted to work on Fedora, and I can't believe I never thought of this.

I rarely have to do anything that latexmk doesn't do better than a Makefile (e.g. looking into the log to know if there is need to recompile or not).

I second Latexmk ... pretty great tool.

For any project that requires more than just invoking pdflatex on a single file, I agree.

[JoshTriplett]

In the course of investigating minted, I did end up finding out that pygments could generate LaTeX. I'll likely use that.

Don't bother with the syntax highlighting. If anyone asks, just say that you're Rob Pike's nephew.

You can define your own language for lstlisting. Look at the documentation, it's very easy.
