Rewrite \begin{foo}\end{foo} to \begin{bar}{opts}\end{bar}?

Question

I know this is likely a simple Latex macro question. I've got a large document with a ton of lstlisting blocks, and I'd like to use minted instead.

That means turning blocks that look like this:

\begin{lstlisting}
  ...code...
\end{lstlisting}

Into something that looks like this:

\begin{minted}{scala}
  ...code...
\end{minted}

I know I can do a find/replace but want an excuse to figure out how to write some of my own LaTeX macros :)

Any suggestions on how to achieve this?

Answer 1

You can do this with \newminted command

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{minted}

\newminted[lstlisting]{scala}{}

\begin{document}



\begin{lstlisting}
#include <stdio.h>
#define N 10
/* Block
 * comment */

int main()
{
    int i;

    // Line comment.
    puts("Hello world!");

    for (i = 0; i < N; i++)
    {
        puts("LaTeX is also great for programmers!");
    }

    return 0;
}
\end{lstlisting}

\end{document}
