There are many ways in \LaTeX{} to display source code.
We have come to appreciate the package \pkg{minted}, which causes some additional installation overhead, but generates very appealing source code renderings.
However, especially on macOS, the installation of minted has caused a lot of headache in the early days of this workshop.
That's why we will also have a look at an alternative called \pkg{lstlistings}.

\paragraph{A note on colors.} Both of these packages require you to define colors.
We can recommend using the \pkg{xcolor} package.
There are very helpful resources\footnote{If you would like to specify your own colors , these pages might help you: \url{https://www.overleaf.com/learn/latex/Using_colours_in_LaTeX} for a list of pre-defined colors in the \pkg{xcolor} package, \url{https://mmoredo.github.io/latex-color-converter/} for defining your own colors} available online such that we will not go into details here.

\section{Source code listings within this script}
This script uses the package \pkg{listings} as default way for displaying source code listings, since, as mentioned above, it causes less headache, especially on macOS. As we introduce \pkg{minted} as an alternative package, naturally, this script can also display source code listings rendered by \pkg{minted}.

As we introduced \pkg{minted} as an alternative package, naturally, this script can also display source code listings rendered by \pkg{minted}. If you want to experience more appealing source code renderings, you can change the listings mode to \pkg{minted} like so: First of all, follow the respective installation instructions. Afterwards, create a new file, called \file{listings-mode.tex}, in the root directory of this project, and insert the following command into the newly created file:
To switch between the packages, you can change the listings mode to \pkg{minted} like so: First of all, follow the respective installation instructions. Afterwards, create a new file called \file{listings-mode.tex} in the root directory of this project, and insert the following line into the newly created file:
\codeblock{latex}{./listings/source-code-listings/change-listings-mode.tex}
After compiling the script, you should see differently rendered source code listings. If you want to return to \pkg{listings} as package for rendering your source code listings, just replace \sh{minted} with \sh{default} in the \file{listings-mode.tex} file. Source code listings within this script are then displayed using the \pkg{listings} package again.
