lstinline gobbles space with linebreak

Question

When I compile this:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{listings}
\lstset{language=[R/3 6.10]ABAP,
    breaklines=true,}

\begin{document}
\lstinline|METHODS print_number IMPORTING VALUE(iv_number) TYPE i.|
\end{document}

The space between (iv_number) and TYPE is gobbled. It is not even there when copy & pasting. This seems to be related to the breaklines option. For my actual document I would need that option. Is there some global method to solve the problem? I would prefer that to writing \lstinline[breaklines=f]|METHODS print_number IMPORTING VALUE(iv_number) TYPE i.| everytime.

Answer 1

Using minted avoids these problems. The package is a bit more work to install but it is much more flexible.

The example with minted would look like this:

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{minted}
\setminted[ABAP]{breaklines=true}

\begin{document}
\mintinline{ABAP}{METHODS print_number IMPORTING VALUE(iv_number) TYPE i.}
\end{document}

You can even set options just for inline code with:

\setmintedinline[ABAP]{breaklines=false}
