Is there a listing environment?

#1

This might be really obvious, but is there listing environment such as in latex. I have some code that I want to include and need to refer to it later in the code.

#2

There are some environments under Insert -> Program -> Block of code.

#3

You can put the code block inside an algorithm element with a label to refer to it and you can put a numbered tag inside to create line numbering.

#4

It’s not an algorithm, so using an algorithm can be misleading. Is it not possible to have it show as listing or something that looks like figure or table environments ?

#5

If you’re not using algorithm environments elsewhere, you can use the algorithm tag and change the “Algorithm text” in its settings to something like “Code listing”.

#6

I’m actually using it elsewhere. That’s why I don’t want to use it for code that is not algorithm. Do you know how to define a new listing environment. It has to look exactly like a figure environment but has listing instead of figure.

#7

Try this (“paste from TeXmacs” into the header):

<assign|code-listing|<\macro|body|caption>
  <with|figure-text|<macro|<localize|Code listing>>|<\big-figure|<arg|body>>
    <arg|caption>
  </big-figure>>
</macro>>

Thanks man. I appreciate it. I really plan to take some time to learn how to do these things myself after I’m done with my thesis.

#9

Unfortunately, the code listings are now listed in my list of figures. I know I am asking too much, but how can I prevent that?

#10

It’s maybe not the cleanest way, but you can put them in a with-figure-list

<assign|code-listing|<\macro|body|caption>
  <\with-figure-list|code>
    <with|figure-text|<macro|<localize|Code listing>>|<\big-figure|<arg|body>>
      <arg|caption>
    </big-figure>>
  </with-figure-list>
</macro>>
#11

Incidentally, this also allows you to make a “List of code listings”

<\with-figure-list|code>
  <with|list-of-figures-text|<macro|<localize|List of code listings>>|<\list-of-figures|code>
    \;
  </list-of-figures>>
</with-figure-list>

and then refresh.

This one did the trick. Thanks.
