I would some ideas on how to show source code in my document. What would be the simplest way to get syntax highlighted code that is visually distinct.
Ideally something like this would be great.
Any tips for displaying source code in your document?

Re: Any tips for displaying source code in your document?
I think Pandoc will create syntax highlighting. I wasn't able to get it to work, but I suspect that was my fault, not Pandoc's.
Or, if you have a programming editor you might have everything you need.
I opened a Python script in BBEdit and used File->Save as styled text. That created an RTF file Mellel opened without problems. There are web pages that suggest copy from Visual Studio (free, in the Community version) preserves the formatting. You might be able to copy code in Visual Studio and paste directly into Mellel, syntax highlighting preserved.
Good luck - please post your solution. I have some documents to produce and would appreciate learning better efficiency.
