\lstinputlisting colours not showing up for special letters!

[grave wolf]

I have colours set my a neat display of code, however characters like čšž appear in normal black instead of being tidy like other letters.

they should be green

[grave wolf]

like that

I've tried literates, inputencoding and charencoding.

Show us what you've done

I cannot replicate your problem

[pearl pilot]

\Google%just a theme
\lstset{
    literate=%
    {č}{{\v{c}}}1
    {š}{{\v{s}}}1
    {ž}{{\v{z}}}1,
    language=C
}

\begin{lstlisting}
printf("csz");
printf("čšž");
getchar();
\end{lstlisting}

[grave wolf]

@tawny tartan does it work for you if you include it from a file

[grave wolf]

using \lstinputlisting[]{file.c}

I've tried putting the literates inside \lstdefinestyle and \lstset, but nothing worked

[tawny tartan]

\begin{filecontents*}{file.c}
printf("csz");
printf("čšž");
getchar();
\end{filecontents*}

\Google%just a theme
\lstset{
    literate=%
    {č}{{\v{c}}}1
    {š}{{\v{s}}}1
    {ž}{{\v{z}}}1,
    language=C
}

\lstinputlisting{file.c}

[tawny tartan]

Again, I cannot recreate the problem you are encountering.

[grave wolf]

then it must be the theme, because I'm using \lstdefinestyle and you're using some other Google theme I do not know how to set

[tawny tartan]

theme? that only deals with colours.

Here it is without \Google:

[grave wolf]

yeah, isn't this the point of the problem?

[tawny tartan]

\begin{filecontents*}{file.c}
printf("csz");
printf("čšž");
getchar();
\end{filecontents*}

\lstset{
    literate=%
    {č}{{\v{c}}}1
    {š}{{\v{s}}}1
    {ž}{{\v{z}}}1,
    language=C
}

\lstinputlisting{file.c}

[tawny tartan]

(this is the only reason why i used a light-coloured theme named Google)

but anyway the colours/themes aren't the problem in the context of highlighting the strings

[grave wolf]

\lstdefinestyle{code}{
    backgroundcolor = \color{orange},
    stringstyle = \color{teal},
    basicstyle = \ttfamily,
    captionpos = b,
    language = C,
}

\lstset{style = code}

let's say this would be example style, which doesn't work

\lstinputlisting[caption = Caption]{Example.c}
``` this is how I'd put it in the document

[tawny tartan]

I thought this was about čšž not being highlighted properly, where everything else was being correctly highlighted?

[grave wolf]

it is.

what do are you thinking it would be

[tawny tartan]

I'm seriously struggling to recreate the problem.

[grave wolf]

so this works?

can you try in lualatex, because that's what I'm using

can you send your files so I can see if it would work for me

[tawny tartan]

This is the MWE.

(minus the \Google of course.)

I'll write it again for you

\begin{filecontents*}{file.c}
printf("csz");
printf("čšž");
getchar();
\end{filecontents*}

\lstset{
    literate=%
    {č}{{\v{c}}}1
    {š}{{\v{s}}}1
    {ž}{{\v{z}}}1,
    language=C,
    stringstyle=\color{magenta}
}

\lstinputlisting{file.c}

and this is what you should get.

[grave wolf]

lstset is in the preamble, right?

[tawny tartan]

No, all of it goes inside document

like this

[grave wolf]

well I have \lstset{style = code} in the preamble and the styling works as shown in my problem

do you include any packages? I cannot find any that would be connected to listings

[tawny tartan]

\lstset and \lstinputlisting are provided by listings and to use colours I loaded xcolor

Nothing else

[grave wolf]

oh I found it, it doesn't load unless \usepackage[most]{tcolorbox} is loaded

otherwise it says ! Undefined control sequence. \lstset

in my main document, I use tcolorbox for some other boxes that's why I didn't include listings

[tawny tartan]

lstset is defined in listings

I presume you needed something like \tcbuselibrary{listings}

[grave wolf]

how do you see in your files if it's correctly highlighted? with the code you provided, there's no theme and so it's just black and white serif font

[tawny tartan]

stringstyle=\color{magenta} key-value pair should highlight the strings as desired.

In case you don't believe me:

[tawny tartan]

The code in the screenshot is exactly the same as this code, so you should see the same output.

[grave wolf]

but I don't

[tawny tartan]

I don't know what else I can do at this point, seems to be new details popping up with every exchange

I'm sure a more experienced TeXnician will help you out, good luck!

[grave wolf]

also I didn't know it could make a c file on its own like that

[grave wolf]

you use vim?

I tried with texworks and it appears to work now, though it has trouble making the entire document that I have the rest of stuff in

[tawny tartan]

I am familiar with vim

[grave wolf]

which editor do you use then

[tawny tartan]

VSCode most often, a heavily-modded version of TeXStudio second
