LaTeX package for syntax highlighting of code in various languages

Question

I am looking for a LaTeX package that does syntax highlighting on code  For example  right now I use the verbatim block to write code    begin verbatim       lt html gt          lt head gt              lt title gt Hello lt  title gt          lt  head gt          lt body gt Hello lt  body gt       lt  html gt   end verbatim    And this works fine to display the code on my document  But  suppose I wanted to highlight the HTML markup the way an IDE would in the output document  Is there a package that could help   I would like to do the same for various languages such as Java  C   HTML  CSS and so on

I would use the minted package as mentioned from the developer Konrad Rudolph instead of the listing package  Here is why   listing package  The listing package does not support colors by default  To use colors you would need to include the color package and define color-rules by yourself with the  lstset command as explained for matlab code here   Also  the listing package doesn t work well with unicode  but you can fix those problems as explained here and here   The following code   documentclass article   usepackage listings    begin document   begin lstlisting  language html   lt html gt       lt head gt           lt title gt Hello lt  title gt       lt  head gt       lt body gt Hello lt  body gt   lt  html gt   end lstlisting   end document    produces the following image     minted package  The minted package supports colors  unicode and looks awesome  However  in order to use it  you need to have python 2 6 and pygments  In Ubuntu  you can check your python version in the terminal with  python --version   and you can install pygments with  sudo apt-get install python-pygments   Then  since minted makes calls to pygments  you need to compile it with -shell-escape like this  pdflatex -shell-escape yourfile tex   If you use a latex editor like TexMaker or something  I would recommend to add a user-command  so that you can still compile it in the editor   The following code   documentclass article   usepackage minted   begin document    begin minted  html       lt  DOCTYPE html gt       lt html gt          lt head gt              lt title gt Hello lt  title gt          lt  head gt           lt body gt Hello lt  body gt       lt  html gt   end minted   end document    produces the following image

I recommend Pygments  It accepts a piece of code in any language and outputs syntax highlighted LaTeX code  It uses fancyvrb and color packages to produce its output  I personally prefer it to the listing package  I think fancyvrb creates much prettier results
