html-to-latex-listing

Convert code highlighted as html to LaTex listings. This library only works on a small subset of html, but it is sufficient to handle the output of "Copy With Highlighting" and "Paste as Html" from VSCode. Note that background color is not preserved.

I got frustrated with the current state of the art of syntax highlighting in LaTex. Both minted and listing does not provide satisfactory highlighting to my taste. This package ensures that the highlighting is consistent with VSCode at the price of some manual effort.

npm install html-to-latex-listing
npx html-to-latex-listing 'snippet/*.html'

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{xcolor}
\usepackage{fancyvrb}
\begin{document}
\VerbatimInput[commandchars=\\\{\}]{snippet/foo.tex}
\end{document}
