Resources for customizing Latex output?

[Ben Watson]

I have been struggling to figure out the best way of doing this.

In my MMD file, I have sections like this:

```
Target Info
===========
Architecture...
```


```c#
var heap = clr.Heap;
foreach(var obj in heap.EnumerateObjects())
...
```

which produces tex output:

\begin{verbatim}
Target Info
===========
Architecture...
\end{verbatim}


\begin{verbatim}
var heap = clr.Heap;
foreach(var obj in heap.EnumerateObjects())
...
\end{verbatim}

The language info is dropped in latex (though pandoc will use it to correctly do syntax highlighting for epub format).

I would like to instead use the minted package instead of verbatim to get syntax highlighting for some of the code. I assume I need to do use XSLT files, but I am having trouble figuring out the right set of steps to accomplish this. 

Q: Is there a guide to customizing MMD-->Latex output in general I could refer to? Where do I put the XSLT files I need, what commands do I run, etc.? This feels rather basic, but my attempts so far have all failed.

I am using MMD 4.2 because that's what came with Scrivener (but I am running mmd.exe outside of Scrivener, in my own build process). If necessary, I can update to a newer version of mmd, but that would be a significant change in my manuscript because I have latex commands peppered throughout and I understand that the syntax for including those changed in v6.

Thanks for any guidance you can offer,

Ben

Don’t you just want to run a filter on your input file for ```c# → <!- - \begin{minted} ... etc ... \end{minted} ?

I can’t imagine that you want to use xslt for that. Isn’t just looping through the lines enough?

Perhaps I am misunderstanding, but generally you can just run your
document through MMD. No need for other scripts or XSLT, unless you're
doing something very specific.

Yeah, I'd prefer to not have another tool do this. 

The problem with just using mmd up to now is that it's difficult to customize the transformation to latex. I still want to use the ```c# syntax because I also translate to epub format, but the latex format for print needs some customization and I don't want it to use \begin{verbatim} anymore.
