[Haskell-cafe] Colored Haskell Listings in LaTeX

[Richard Eisenberg]

The source code for my thesis is public, and it includes this file: https://github.com/goldfirere/thesis/blob/master/tex/rae.fmt <https://github.com/goldfirere/thesis/blob/master/tex/rae.fmt>

But there weren't colors in my thesis. (Or, at least, the code wasn't syntax highlighted with colors.)

These days, I use that fmt file with these definitions in the tex file:

> \newcommand{\keyword}[1]{\textcolor{BlueViolet}{\textbf{#1}}}
> \newcommand{\id}[1]{\textsf{\textsl{#1}}}
> \newcommand{\varid}[1]{\textcolor{Sepia}{\id{#1}}}
> \newcommand{\conid}[1]{\textcolor{OliveGreen}{\id{#1}}}

I hope this is helpful!
