As may know, I am a -fan-boy! To me
, is just the perfect way to get documents well structured and with a professional layout. More, with
you can write to someone in the other side of the planet mathematic formulas, or whatever because is a standard. It’s also fast, stable, flexible, free, etc.
Well, from the very beginning of my course I have to be able to write documents in , so after I learn it, I start to do my
template document. To import code to my document I start to use verbatim package, but it really suck’s!
So, I found listings, great output! And even better, I could make my own style to one language. After reading the manual I did it for Haskell. I love the output.
You can see an example of that here(.pdf).
A simple definition of some colors to highlight our code:
\definecolor{gray_ulisses}{gray}{0.55}
\definecolor{castanho_ulisses}{rgb}{0.71,0.33,0.14}
\definecolor{preto_ulisses}{rgb}{0.41,0.20,0.04}
\definecolor{green_ulises}{rgb}{0.2,0.75,0}
And here it is, the thing that do things
\lstdefinelanguage{HaskellUlisses} {
basicstyle=\ttfamily\tiny,
sensitive=true,
morecomment=[l][\color{gray_ulisses}\ttfamily\tiny]{--},
morecomment=[s][\color{gray_ulisses}\ttfamily\tiny]{\{-}{-\}},
morestring=[b]",
stringstyle=\color{red},
showstringspaces=false,

And now, to use it, we define a new environment:
\lstnewenvironment{code}
{\textbf{Haskell Code} \hspace{1cm} \hrulefill \lstset{language=HaskellUlisses}}
{\hrulesmallskip}
Now to write Haskell code in our document with great output, just write:
\begin{code}
module Main(main) where
main :: IO()
main = putStrLn $ "LaTeX listings is cool!"
\end{code}
Because I’m not so good at web design I use this blog layout (that I like), but some of the code may not be seen, if you want to see an example of a source go here (.lhs).
Correu altamente a workshop de LaTeX organizada pelo CAOS. Mais um sucesso de toda a equipa que trabalha no CAOS. Foi um dia cheio de partilha de conhecimento. Eu mais o Nuno ficamos incrédulos com o grupo heterogéneo de participantes que tínhamos; dois professores do 

limitava-me a usar os templates que os professores disponibilizavam e assim fazia os relatórios para os trabalhos. Uma vez não tive tempo para usar um destes templates e aldrabei um documento, tinha sido escrito no Word e fi-lo a se parecer, no máximo dos meus conhecimentos do word, com um template
