Syntax coloring in latex using Minted?

Unfortunately, that’s not (easily) possible minted and texments rely on lexical analysis of the code. Lexical analysis is comparably easy and efficient but it is only the first stage of parsing a source code As a result, lexical analysis can recognise keywords, strings, comments and identifiers but it cannot tell identifiers apart. To do that, a parser would need to parse the whole code basis (comprising multiple files) and build an abstract syntax tree This is much more complex and time-consuming, and generally too inefficient for syntax colouring.

For that reason, most code highlighting tools don’t perform such an in-depth analysis Xcode needs to fully parse the code anyway (for error messages, debugging and other things) and maintains a database of parsing information for each project. This allows it to provide more sophisticated code highlighting and still perform well. You might notice that if you load a single code file (not part of a project) in Xcode, no full syntax colouring of variable names will be performed either.

Sorry for the delay in response. I figured it was going to be an issue such as this, but did not know if there was an easy way around this. It is okay though, it works well enough right now.

Maybe if I get some spare time I will try to create a better coloring scheme (probably not though : ) – MZimmerman6 May 19 at 16:16.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
