Thanks for the post. It was useful for dumping code into latex and not worrying about escaping and formatting.

Hi Nadine,

You can use the following options to omit the frame and numbering:

frame=none, numbers=none

You can find the documentation of the listings package here.

Can we put the code without frame and without numbering?

God mainly bless you for this page. It was a blessing for me to know how to put my SAS-Code into my latex document. So i just want to acknowledge and to thank you for it.

Thanks, Phillip. the \usepackage{upquote} solution was just was just what I was looking for.

Answered my own question:

\usepackage{upquote}

after all other font specs will force typewriter font to Computer Modern Typewriter and make verbatim, verbatim*, verb, and verb* leave ` and ‘ in their original state.

(” is already set unchanged; I’m not sure of the logic of curling ‘ and ` in a mode that otherwise leaves things unchanged. While it’s true that the old ASCII character set didn’t include encodings for these so it’s useful to be able to create them in verbatim mode, not having an obvious escape to get back to raw apostrophes and grave accents seems to me an omission).

Not quote as fancy as the listings package but for simple scripts and one-liners, being able to get the various verbatim modes to behave is good. Unless you need the default behaviour for some other purpose in the same document …

The main problem I had with setting Awk scripts in verbatim mode is that single quotes are turned into curly apostrophes, making it awkward to copy and paste a typset example into a terminal or editor window to execute. Double quotes are OK in verbatim mode. Using lstlisting mode, ALL quotes are turned into curly quotes, one worse than verbatim.

Any ideas? The simplest thing to make a listing in any mode without curling quotes would be good. Thanks.

@steven: You’ve said “The resulting text just looks ugly with incredibly bad spacing – the character kerning is completely messed up”. I finally found out that the “columns” option can solve your problem. The complete command is \lstset{columns=fullflexible}.

If you have python distribution in your machine you can use ‘pygmentize’. Using pygmentize you can also generate syntax highlighted code in Word, html and pdf formats besides LateX.
