Latex ads with UTF-8 (or at least German umlauts)

Trying to include the source file in my latex document using a listing package, I have problems with German umlauts inside comments in the code. Using

\lstset{ extendedchars=\true, inputencoding=utf8x }

Umlauts in the source files (encoded in UTF-8 without specification) are processed, but they somehow move to the beginning of the word in which they are contained. So

 // die Größe muss berücksichtigt werden

in the original source file becomes

 // die ößGre muss übercksichtigt werden

in the output file.

NOTE: since I found errors in my initial setup, I heavily edited this question

ok, now find a suitable workaround:

  • instead of an ad package, use listingsutf8

    \ usepackage {listingsutf8}

  • copy .sty lists to the folder where the document is located

  • find the following lines

      \ lst @ CCPutMacro
     \ lst @ ProcessOther {"23} \ #
     \ lst @ ProcessLetter {"24} \ textdollar
     \ lst @ ProcessOther {"25} \%
     \ lst @ ProcessOther {"26} \ &

  • Enter the following lines there (each "registers" one umlaut)

      \ lst @ ProcessLetter {"E4} {\" a}
 \ lst @ ProcessLetter {"F6} {\" o}
 \ lst @ ProcessLetter {"FC} {\" u}
 \ lst @ ProcessLetter {"C4} {\" A}
 \ lst @ ProcessLetter {"D6} {\" O}
 \ lst @ ProcessLetter {"DC} {\" U}
 \ lst @ ProcessLetter {"DF} {\ ss {}}

  • Save file

  • Using

      \ lstset {
     extendedchars = \ true,
     inputencoding = utf8 / latin1
 }

to enable utf8 character to display latin1 character

  1. Convert line endings of source file from windows (\ r \ n) to unix (\ n)
  2. to use

I know this is ugly in many ways, but this is the only solution that works for me so far.

For comments only, you can use the texcl option:

 \lstset{language=C++,texcl=true}

How your comments will become latex, and you can use "special" characters

 \begin{lstlisting} int iLink = 0x01; // Paramètre entrée \end{lstlisting}

I can confirm that the solution provided by Janos works almost correctly.

In my case, I needed to use the Spanish characters: á, é, í, ó, ú, ñ, Á, É, Í, Ó, Ú and tried to solve it without results, until I compiled my file with xelatex instead of pdflatex.

In any case, you should modify listing.sty in the local copy or directly in the shared file and add the following:

 \lst@CCPutMacro \lst@ProcessOther {"23}\# \lst@ProcessLetter{"24}\textdollar \lst@ProcessOther {"25}\% \lst@ProcessOther {"26}\& %spanish letters coded in UTF \lst@ProcessOther {"E1}{\'a} \lst@ProcessOther {"C1}{\'A} \lst@ProcessOther {"E9}{\'e} \lst@ProcessOther {"C9}{\'E} \lst@ProcessOther {"ED}{\'i} \lst@ProcessOther {"CD}{\'I} \lst@ProcessOther {"F3}{\'o} \lst@ProcessOther {"D3}{\'O} \lst@ProcessOther {"FA}{\'u} \lst@ProcessOther {"DA}{\'U} \lst@ProcessOther {"F1}{ñ} \lst@ProcessOther {"D1}{Ñ}

In my .tex file, I used the following options for lists:

 \usepackage{listingsutf8} \lstset{ inputencoding=utf8, extendedchars=\true}

Hope this can help anyone, and maybe we can create a .sty list containing almost all UTF8 char ... :)

Similar to the posts before (yaxz et al.) I defined macros for the Croatian language:

 % on top \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc} \usepackage[T1]{fontenc} \usepackage[croatian]{babel} % add listings package \usepackage{listings} % set font translations \lstset{inputencoding=utf8} \lstset{extendedchars=true} \lstset{ literate=% {ć}{{\'c}}1 {č}{{\v{c}}}1 {đ}{{\dj{}}}1 {š}{{\v{s}}}1 {ž}{{\v{z}}}1 {Ć}{{\'C}}1 {Č}{{\v{C}}}1 {Đ}{{\DJ{}}}1 {Š}{{\v{S}}}1 {Ž}{{\v{Z}}}1 }

I still have a "small" problem with adding the keyword "inače". The following will not work for "inače":

 \lstset{morekeywords={ponavljaj, ako, inače, dok}}

The keyword "inače" (which is displayed in the code) is not recognized as a keyword. Any ideas?

Hope this helps someone (except me :)).

The author of the package suggests using the texcl option. Sometimes it helps, sometimes not.

The cleanest solution for this is to use the listings2 package: http://www.atscire.de/index.php?nav=products/listings2

Just use \usepackage{listings2} instead of \usepackage{listings} and this.

We all know how LaTeX does not play well with Greek. However, this is my contribution, which requires several workarounds and does not include diacritics (but it works!):

 \usepackage[greek]{babel} \usepackage{textgreek} \usepackage{listings} % Notice that here it is spelled 'omikron', not 'omicron', % and that I use '\textmugreek' instead of '\textmu', % which are both part of the textgreek package, but the % 'normal' \textmu conflicts with the textcomp package as % that uses another font for \textmu. \DeclareUnicodeCharacter{03BF}{\textomikron} \DeclareUnicodeCharacter{039F}{\textOmikron} \DeclareUnicodeCharacter{03BC}{\textmugreek} \lstset{ inputencoding=utf8, extendedchars=true, literate= {α}{{\textalpha}}1 {Α}{{\textAlpha}}1 {β}{{\textbeta}}1 {Β}{{\textBeta}}1 {γ}{{\textgamma}}1 {Γ}{{\textGamma}}1 {δ}{{\textdelta}}1 {Δ}{{\textDelta}}1 {ε}{{\textepsilon}}1 {Ε}{{\textEpsilon}}1 {ζ}{{\textzeta}}1 {Ζ}{{\textZeta}}1 {η}{{\texteta}}1 {Η}{{\textEta}}1 {θ}{{\texttheta}}1 {Θ}{{\textTheta}}1 {ι}{{\textiota}}1 {Ι}{{\textIota}}1 {κ}{{\textkappa}}1 {Κ}{{\textKappa}}1 {λ}{{\textlambda}}1 {Λ}{{\textLambda}}1 {μ}{{\textmugreek}}1 {Μ}{{\textMu}}1 {ν}{{\textnu}}1 {Ν}{{\textNu}}1 {ξ}{{\textxi}}1 {Ξ}{{\textXi}}1 {ο}{{\textomikron}}1 {Ο}{{\textOmikron}}1 {π}{{\textpi}}1 {Π}{{\textPi}}1 {ρ}{{\textrho}}1 {Ρ}{{\textRho}}1 {σ}{{\textsigma}}1 {Σ}{{\textSigma}}1 {ς}{{\textvarsigma}}1 {τ}{{\texttau}}1 {Τ}{{\textTau}}1 {υ}{{\textupsilon}}1 {Υ}{{\textUpsilon}}1 {φ}{{\textphi}}1 {Φ}{{\textPhi}}1 {χ}{{\textchi}}1 {Χ}{{\textChi}}1 {ψ}{{\textpsi}}1 {Ψ}{{\textPsi}}1 {ω}{{\textomega}}1 {Ω}{{\textOmega}}1 }

Just do not use UTF-8 in LaTex if you want to use list packages. Using latin1 in your documents will display German Umlauts very well.

I am writing a dissertation in German using this setting:

 % Your language, here German \usepackage[ngerman]{babel} % Will work with Umlauts \usepackage[latin1]{inputenc} % Euro characters etc. \usepackage{textcomp} % Works perfectly with latin1 \usepackage{listings}

You may need to set the document input encoding, also be UTF-8. There , the comp.text.tex thread discusses how to do this. The following does this on TeXLive on GNU / Linux:
