Describe the bug I am using both mintinline and minted for code highlighting in XeLaTeX.

Screenshots See above

Additional context

• I refer to the https://github.com/area/language-latex/issues/75 (read the first and last comment). You can fork his repository to improve the minted support.

Package highlight not supported officially. PR welcomed.

It already work for the minted environment. I will add syntax highlighting support for \mintinline in the coming days.

@jlelong , you forgot of including the $ to regex.

For example, put \mintline{php}{<?php echo "Hello $name, how are you?" ?>}. As containing $, it still breaks the highlighting.

[jlelong]

The correct command is mintinline and not mintline. If you try with \mintinline{php}{<?php echo "Hello $name, how are you?" ?>}, you will see that it works.

Then, I misspelled, but with the correct command, it still breaks too. Here is the screenshot:

I does work when the command is on its own line but there is still an issue when used in the middle of a paragraph. I will fix it.

Note that fixes are only pushed to the master branch and they appear in the next release. From your screenshot, I think you are testing with the latest stable release.

I am using 5.17.2, is it the latest?

[jlelong]

Yes. To be clear, if you do not compile the extension yourself from the master branch, you won't see any fix until a new version is released.

[gusbemacbe]

I downloaded the master file, copied to the extensions, I tested and it worked, but I can not build the LaTeX file.

[jlelong]

You need a node.js environment to properly run the extension from the master branch. Probably best to wait for a new release. I only modified LaTeX.plist, you may try to only copy this file.

It worked now. But will you add support for the package verbments? Check the screenshot in the which pyglist belongs to this package:

You can check the package verbments. You can find the list of codes in the small documentation. It is mostly used in the @gcedo's Thesis Polimi template.
