Dear Ruby Experts,
I’m new to Ruby notwithstanding that I have the following silly problem:
I have to list some ruby code in a paper I’m writing by using LaTeX, I
would like to pretty print such a code but both listings.sty and
lgrinds.sty (two LaTeX styles for pretty printing list of code) do not
support the ruby language.
Any one of you have already provided a specification for the Ruby
language? And above all does he want to share his work with us?
Any other solution is welcome.
TIA Walter

What about lout. Lout is similar in concept to Latex. It generates
postcript documents from plain text with a good and easy syntax.
It has too a tool, prg2lout that transforms code in various languages
(including Ruby) into lout source for pretty printing.
Lout is advanced and object oriented. It is enought for me. I don’t
know if serves to you.

I haven’t got into LaTeX yet myself, but there are one or two other
options listed here:
http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=codelist
Whether:
The tiny_c2l system is more recent: users are encouraged to generate
their own driver files for languages it doesn’t already deal with.
means they are encouraging this because it is easy, or because it is
far too much work for the authors (and therefore not easy!) I
couldn’t say.

Are you looking for syntax color highlighting? I haven’t had the need for
a Ruby pretty print tool that arranged {} or do/ends, unlike what
is common with {} in C.
If you don’t need syntax highlighting, then you may want to check
out fancyverbatim.

If God had meant for us to be in the Army, we would have been born with

Walter,
I’m not an expert, but I did recently write a Ruby specification for the
listings package in order to include code for a paper. It’s available at
http://aries.etree.org/brian/files/ruby_def.tex – forgive me if it’s
incomplete, but I only spent a few minutes on it.
Hope that helps.

I have never used lout, but I have to write the paper in LaTeX because
the editor/publisher require so. Therefore it is possible to use lout
with LaTeX. I wouldn’t insert code as eps picture so what I need is that
lout convert its code in LaTeX code.
TIA, Walter

Also, the author of listings suggests the user to fill his own syntax
but the problem is that I’m too new to ruby to be able to write such a
syntax by myself.
Therefore, I’m looking for a syntax already made for the listings
package or a package already supporting ruby.
I’ll give a look to your link
thanks a lot

Unfortunately, I’m looking for syntax highlighting and not for
keywordis/blocks alignment. I want something that automatically prints
ruby keywords in boldface, comments in italics and so on.
Of course inside LaTeX documents, do you know a script that do that
without writing it by myself?

The only thing I can think of is to use vim’s conversion to html,
then a html2latex converter. I have not done the latter recently, but
vim does a good job and supports ruby.

It looks like blind screaming hedonism won out.
Walter,
Unfortunately, I’m looking for syntax highlighting and not for
keywordis/blocks alignment. I want something that automatically prints
ruby keywords in boldface, comments in italics and so on.
What I did is keep the Ruby in a separate file. I then wrote a script to
read the Ruby and generate LaTeX, surrounding the code with verbatim tags,
key words with \keyword{}, etc. The main LaTeX file included the generated
file and defined those commands so that keywords were bolded, etc.

vim can export ruby code to html - doing all of the above. i’m guessing that
there is something which could convert html to latex.
for f in *.rb; do gvim -f +“syn on” +“run! syntax/2html.vim” +“wq” +“q” $f; done
the results are really nice.

But Lout can produce an EPS file. Perhaps that could help (assuming
the produced EPS is a sort of figure).

That is ruby pseudocode BYW, I don’t have a tool to do that. 
html2latex is Perl based. It is left as an exercise for the reader
to translate it into ruby
