Dear list,
I am trying to add a lstlisting environment to my layout file (using
listings package) and arrive at the following:
Style Listings
Margin Static
LatexType Environment
LatexName lstlisting
NextNoIndent 1
LeftMargin MMM
RightMargin MMM
TopSep 0.5
BottomSep 0.5
Align Left
AlignPossible Block, Left, Right, Center
LabelType No_Label
# define the environment listings
Preamble
\usepackage{listings}
\lstset{language=Python,
showspaces=false,
basicstyle=\footnotesize,
showstringspaces=false,
showtabs=false
}
EndPreamble
# standard font definition
Font
Family Typewriter
Size small
EndFont
End
My problem is that
Line1
Line2
appears in latex as
\begin{lstlisting}
Line1
Line2
\end{lstlisting}
so I get an extra line.
If I do Ctrl-enter after Line1, the latex code would be
\begin{lstlisting}
Line1 ~\\
Line2
\end{lstlisting}
~\\ will be shown in lstlisting as it is.
How can I correct this? Basically, I would like the code to be in
latex as it is.
Many thanks in advance.

Two possible solutions, neither necessarily ideal.
Method 1: Add emptylines=0 to the package load in the preamble, then
just use Enter to terminate lines. The blank lines will be vaporized.
Downside: _all_ blank lines will be vaporized, so if you wanted to leave
empty lines, you'll need to put a Python comment character (whatever
that may be) as a placeholder.
Method 2: Invoke the environment with \begin{lstlisting}[escapechar=\\]
and use C-Enter to terminate lines. The double backslash you would
otherwise get will be vaporized. So will any other backslashes (don't
know if Python uses them or not), except those in strings, which get
screwed up for reasons separate from this.
