I'm documenting a system which produces PDF files from database entries using Python, and I'm using the listing package to insert the code via \lstinputlisting. Everything has worked fine 'till I got to the latex code. I can use \lstinputlisting[language=TeX]{myfile.tex} and it works fine, but if I use \lstinputlisting[language=[LaTeX]TeX]{myfile.tex} it will output Package Listings Error: File 'T(.tex)' not found. \lstinputlisting[language=[LaTeX]T. How can I fix it?

A MWE (or sort of, since it relies on the source code being on an external file and the languages defs are not so minimal) would be:

% !TeX encoding = UTF-8
\documentclass[letterpaper,11pt,oneside]{book}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}

\usepackage[spanish]{layout}

\usepackage{listings}

  • Try with language={[LaTeX]TeX} just add braces.

  • @salimbou You should post it as an answer. I already gave mine, but yours is more concise. ;) Aug 22, 2016 at 16:11

I solved it defining a dummy language:

\lstdefinelanguage{template}{
    language=[LaTeX]{TeX},
    sensitive=true
}

What i'd like now is to have a different style for it... guess I'll have to post that on another question.

  • Did you post that other question? I'm hitting that problem now.

This solution works:

\lstinputlisting[ language={[LaTeX]TeX} ] {myfile.tex}

Observe the language setting using curly braces {}
