Syntax Highlighting Without Listings Cannot Wrap

[tshu-w]

If I use syntax highlighting without listings. The code cannot wrap just like listings.

Unfortunately this is a general problem with the verbatim environment and it exists in the default pandoc template as well (see jgm/pandoc#277). It seems that there is currently no way for me to fix this.

1. You could insert a manual line break.
2. You could use the listings package for code highlighting with the option --listings. Unfortunately the syntax highlighting will be inferior to the one pandoc generates with the verbatim environment.
3. You could replace the \begin{verbatim} and \end{verbatim} commands with \begin{spverbatim} and \end{spverbatim}. The package spverbatim seems to handle breaks in verbatim output. You could open a new issue in the pandoc issue tracker suggesting the use of spverbatim.

@Wandmalfarbe Fine, It seems that it's an upstream issue. BTW, thx you advice.

@Wandmalfarbe yeah, package spverbatim worked fine for handling breaks in verbatim output.
But wonder how to replace verbatim with spverbatim by using some command in latex template?

[Wandmalfarbe]

I'm no expert at redefining or modifying LaTeX commands but googled a bit around and found this post https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/309073.

I also think it would be possible to use a custom pandoc filter for replacing \begin{verbatim} with \begin{spverbatim}. You could ask at the pandoc issue tracker for such a filter or suggest the use of spverbatim as the default verbatim environment.

@Wandmalfarbe You could use fvextra, see https://stackoverflow.com/questions/20788464/pandoc-doesnt-text-wrap-code-blocks-when-converting-to-pdf#answer-48507868

Or see this manual way to do with xcolor https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/323329/pandoc-code-blocks-in-markdown-with-very-long-lines-get-cut-off-when-outputting

Please re-open because pandoc won't fix that any time soon.

Yes, I actually saw that comment (jgm/pandoc#4302 (comment)) in the pandoc issue tracker but forgot to implement it. Thank you for reminding me 😄.

This example doesn't actually use xcolor to break long lines in code blocks. It uses listings with the options

breaklines=true,
breakatwhitespace=true,
breakautoindent=true,

to break long lines. This only applies when compiling your pandoc document with the option --listings and has been implemented in Eisvogel since day zero.

You're welcome.

My bad I didn't read the code :(

That was quick, I need to test that :)

@Wandmalfarbe I was able to use a better syntax highlight (noraj/OSCP-Exam-Report-Template-Markdown@486237e) thanks to you :)
I use your LaTeX template for rendering my OSCP markdown template see https://github.com/noraj/OSCP-Exam-Report-Template-Markdown, where I credited your work (if your need to build a gallery section or just because that make you happy to hear that people use your great template).

@Wandmalfarbe Still a small issue: When the wrapped line is the last line of a page:

I goes out of the box.

It always makes me happy to hear about people using my work and appreciating what I make! That readme looks great!
