Using subscripts and superscripts in minted

Question

I am using the minted package for code highlighting in my thesis. My minted command looks like this:

\newminted[ps]{js}{frame=lines,style=manni,fontfamily=courier,linenos=true}

And I used it like this

\begin{listing}[H]
\caption{Syntax of function declaration}
    \begin{ps}
    // My code is here
    \end{ps}
\end{listing}

I would like to use subscripts and superscripts within the minted code (I use it also for psuedocode and grammar rules, that's why I want subscripts..)

I've tried this to set mathescape as described here Subscript and superscript in lstlisting? but \lstset gives me Undefined control sequence error (I guess I am not using listing package...?)

Thanks for your time.

Answer 1

The command \lstset is for listings, which is very different from minted.

You can use escapeinside:

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{minted}

\newminted[ps]{js}{
  frame=lines,
  style=manni,
  fontfamily=courier,
  linenos=true,
  escapeinside=@@,
}

\begin{document}

\begin{ps}
... code@$_1$@ ... code@$^2$@ ... code@$_1^2$@ ...
\end{ps}

\end{document}

Instead of @@ you can use a different character that's not used in the ps environments.
