Highlight LaTeX: Pretty LaTeX code within LaTeX

Teaching other people LaTeX is great fun, and I've seen plenty of slides and readers doing so. You show what you achieve, and how you achieve it. However, while the LaTeX you achieve might look splendid, showing code is often done using very rudimentary solutions (like plain old verbatim).

They're not to blame: using LaTeX alone, there aren't many alternatives. Hence this package extends the generatic listings package to provide for these needs; colored highlightign for LaTeX. The file demo.tex achieves this:

$highlight demo$

The package is now available from CTAN. You can use \usepackage{highlightlatex} and if your system requires manual installation, the package is called the same. If you wish to install the package version of the repository, refer to 'Manual installation' on the wiki.

Quickstart

After having added the package, you can add LaTeX in two ways:

Inline style:
```
Your file begins with a line of the form \hll|\documentclass[]{}|. The
square brackets ...
```
The first non-space character following \hll delimits the argument of this command.

Block style:

Your basic document now looks like
\begin{highlightblock}[gobble=2]
    \documentclass[a4paper]{article}
    \begin{document}
        Hello world!
    \end{document}
\end{highlightblock}

Refer to the manual for further documentation.
