Request: provide `minted` package for LaTeX builds?

[ntjess]

Thank you so much for providing the option to submit LaTeX papers this year!

Just one issue, there is no easy way to highlight code in a LaTeX submission. Even referencing the example file:

% in 00_texderwalt.tex

With code-highlighting:

\vspace{1mm}
\begin{Verbatim}[commandchars=\\\{\},fontsize=\footnotesize]
    \PY{k}{def} \PY{n+nf}{sum}\PY{p}{(}\PY{n}{a}\PY{p}{,} \PY{n}{b}\PY{p}{)}\PY{p}{:}
% ...

I assume this was not the intention. In the meantime, can you add minted (or listings, etc.) to the scipy.sty file so LaTeX authors can include code samples?

Bonus points if metadata.yaml or something similar would allow a user-specified set of usepackage entries 🙂

The restriction that we're operating under is that we want papers written in latex and restructuredtext to look the same. We didn't have enough time before paper submissions opened this year to find a good solution to produce the same syntax highlighting in both cases. So no, it was not what we wished would have happened, but yes, this is the supported version of latex code snippet highlighting for 2023. As you already noticed, the docutils commands are not very human legible.
