After days and days of wrestling with this, I still seem to be unable to
solve some basic problems:

A. Source code listings

1) Source code blocks: Using

#+BEGIN_SRC js

works for HTML output, but not for LaTeX/PDF. It seems js is not
understood by the listings package, and I have to use java.

2) Even with java, the output is pretty ugly. Any way to get some color
in there?


B. Graphics

I've tried TikZ, GraphViz dot and ditaa. I believe TikZ has the most
potential, once I learn all the options and attributes. However, I'm
stuck on a couple of things:

1) How to I get TikZ graphics to fit on a page? The TikZ pictures are
always on a separate page in my org PDF output.

2) I'd really like to get all my graphics in SVG format, so the text
would be searchable, clickable, etc. However, I haven't found a way to
get TikZ output into SVG, or to get SVG into LaTeX. (Yes, I'm aware of
the svg package, which requires Inkscape, but even after installing
that, I can't get svg images to work in LaTeX.)

I've Googled all of these, and tried to understand the answers, though
many take a complete understanding of yet another package/tool/etc. It's
getting very discouraging. I'd really like to use org-mode, but I'm
wondering if AsciiDoc or even MarkDown might be easier.

Thanks,
-pd

It shouldn't take much to define a language environment for listings:

http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/89574/language-option-supported-in-listings

Maybe that helps?

Alternatively, can you use minted instead of listings? It requires
some external packages and some changes in how the latex is processed
(basically adding --shell-escape to the pdflatex (or similar)
invocation(s)). C-h v org-latex-listings RET has the details.
But it does contain support for javascript, IIRC.

Excellent!  Thanks to this, I now have great looking JavaScript
listings, and I can easily change the styling.

Thank you, Nick!

For completeness, would you please tell us your solution?  I'm sure this
question will come up again at some point...

Thanks,

Sure thing, Eric. Basically, I just added the following to my org file:


#+LaTeX_HEADER: \lstset{
#+LaTeX_HEADER:    columns=fullflexible,
#+LaTeX_HEADER:    keepspaces=true
#+LaTeX_HEADER:    language=js,
#+LaTeX_HEADER:    backgroundcolor=\color{lightgray},
#+LaTeX_HEADER:    extendedchars=true, 
#+LaTeX_HEADER:    basicstyle=\footnotesize\ttfamily,
#+LaTeX_HEADER:    showstringspaces=false,
#+LaTeX_HEADER:    showspaces=false,
#+LaTeX_HEADER:    showtabs=false,
#+LaTeX_HEADER:    numbers=left,
#+LaTeX_HEADER:    numberstyle=\footnotesize,
#+LaTeX_HEADER:    numbersep=9pt,
#+LaTeX_HEADER:    tabsize=2,
#+LaTeX_HEADER:    breaklines=true,
#+LaTeX_HEADER:   
prebreak=\mbox{\ensuremath{\color{red}\hookleftarrow}},
#+LaTeX_HEADER:   
postbreak=\raisebox{0ex}[0ex][0ex]{\ensuremath{\color{red}\hookrightarrow\space}},
#+LaTeX_HEADER:    captionpos=b
#+LaTeX_HEADER: }
#+LaTeX_HEADER: \definecolor{lightgray}{rgb}{.9,.9,.9}
#+LaTeX_HEADER: \definecolor{darkgray}{rgb}{.4,.4,.4}
#+LaTeX_HEADER: \definecolor{purple}{rgb}{0.65, 0.12, 0.82}
#+LaTeX_HEADER: \definecolor{darkgreen}{rgb}{0.12, 0.65, 0.30}
#+LaTeX_HEADER: \lstdefinelanguage{js}{
#+LaTeX_HEADER:   keywords={typeof, new, true, false, catch, function,
return, null, catch, switch, var, if, in, while, do, else, case, break},
#+LaTeX_HEADER:   keywordstyle=\color{blue}\bfseries\footnotesize,
#+LaTeX_HEADER:   ndkeywords={class, export, boolean, throw, implements,
import, this},
#+LaTeX_HEADER:   ndkeywordstyle=\color{darkgray}\bfseries,
#+LaTeX_HEADER:   identifierstyle=\color{black},
#+LaTeX_HEADER:   sensitive=false,
#+LaTeX_HEADER:   comment=[l]{//},
#+LaTeX_HEADER:   morecomment=[s]{/*}{*/},
#+LaTeX_HEADER:   commentstyle=\color{darkgreen}\itshape,
#+LaTeX_HEADER:   stringstyle=\color{purple}\ttfamily,
#+LaTeX_HEADER:   morestring=[b]',
#+LaTeX_HEADER:   morestring=[b]"
#+LaTeX_HEADER: }


This way, I get syntax highlighting in org, in HTML output, and in
LaTeX/PDF output.

NOTE: The prebreak and postbreak definitions just add little red hooks
to the source block to show me where a line break was added. It's a
trick I picked up on this list a while ago.

Thanks!

Thanks.  Useful to have the definition for javascript on the list.

Oh, and thanks for this!  This is very useful.
