# latexminted(1)

Python executable for the LaTeX minted package

## NAME

latexminted - Python executable for the LaTeX minted package

## DESCRIPTION

The LaTeX **minted** package typesets code with syntax highlighting using the Pygments library (https://pygments.org/). **latexminted** receives code and settings from the **minted** package, performs syntax highlighting and code formatting, and then passes the highlighted code back to LaTeX for typesetting.

**latexminted** is designed to be launched from within LaTeX via \\ShellEscape by the **minted** package.  It is not intended for direct usage.

See the **minted** documentation for installation and configuration details (https://ctan.org/pkg/minted).
