Formatting Objective C code using listing in LaTeX

I am wondering how one is supposed to format Objective C code using the listings package of LaTeX? I know that the language supports C (Objective) , so how do i set this in the \lstset language option?

Thanks

Solution

  • Like this:

    \documentclass{article}

\usepackage{listings}

\begin{document}

\lstset{language=[Objective]C, breakindent=40pt, breaklines}

\begin{lstlisting}
@interface classname : superclassname {
    // instance variables
}
+classMethod1;
+(return_type)classMethod2;
+(return_type)classMethod3:(param1_type)param1_varName;

-(return_type)instanceMethod1:(param1_type)param1_varName :(param2_type)param2_varName;
-(return_type)instanceMethod2WithParameter:(param1_type)param1_varName andOtherParameter:(param2_type)param2_varName;
@end
\end{lstlisting}

\end{document}
