Summary description: Use Pygments to format code listings in documents
Announcement text:
PygmenTeX v0.12.1 has been released. PygmenTeX is a Python-based LaTeX package for typesetting code listings using the Pygments syntax highlighter. Unlike other packages, it collects all snippets and processes them in a single batch, significantly reducing compilation time. CHANGES IN v0.12.1 (HOTFIX) * List Margin Alignment: Fixed a critical regression where pygmented environments inside lists (itemize, enumerate, quotation) ignored parent margins. Code blocks now perfectly inherit the correct list indentation and line widths. * Robust Option Parsing: The Python backend's option parser has been completely rewritten to be brace-aware ({...}). This prevents Pygments from crashing when handling complex, comma-separated LaTeX arguments (such as advanced tcolorbox TikZ overlays). RECENTLY ADDED IN v0.12 * autogobble Option: Introduced the highly requested autogobble feature. This automatically calculates and strips common leading whitespace from code snippets, allowing authors to natively indent their \begin{pygmented} blocks to match the surrounding LaTeX source code. * Modernized Parsing: Completely rewrote the internal LaTeX environment parser to safely preserve active newlines, resolving long-standing conflicts with fancyvrb. For full documentation, please refer to the updated manual included in the package.

pygmentex – Use Pygments to format code listings in documents
PygmenTeX is a Python-based LaTeX package that can be used for typesetting code listings in a LaTeX document using Pygments.
Pygments is a generic syntax highlighter for general use in all kinds of software such as forum systems, wikis or other applications that need to prettify source code.
