Hi, While writing technical documents, as a programmer and an Org-Mode user, for me it's important to have ways to syntax highlight code blocks when exporting them to LaTeX.
While I am aware of the customizations that need to be done to Org-Mode's configuration in order to get that to work, in particular customizing these variables(see [1] for details): * org-latex-listings * org-latex-custom-lang-environments * org-latex-minted-options and having tried them, I got this working for one document, but it really felt like a lot of trial-and-error and a lot of room for error on my side as a user. Although this is Org-Mode and it is supposed to be very customizable (like Emacs is), I still believe the documentation and the implementation can be improved on this. I think there's even reason to believe that this should be working out of the box. The only reason I see for this not being the default setting is to not add pygments [2] as a dependency. Still, I think it should be much easier for me as a user to spend less time getting it to work. I welcome any feedback on this. Thank you for taking the time to read my proposal.
