when using double brackets for code , highlight doesn't work

[ggous]

Hi,

If I use highlight style:

format:
  html:
    theme: cosmo
  pdf:
    include-before-body: 
        - colors.tex
    documentclass: scrreprt
    code-block-bg: true
    code-block-border-left: "#E9E9E9"
    keep-tex: true
    highlight-style: tango

and use double brackets for python code that I don't want to run:

{{python}}

then the highlight style doesn't work.

Is there any workaround for this?

Hi,

The example that you provided has the highlight-style set only under the the pdf format. If you'd like that style to apply to all formats, just move the key out to the root, like so:

---
format:
  html:
    theme: cosmo
  pdf:
    include-before-body: 
        - colors.tex
    documentclass: scrreprt
    code-block-bg: true
    code-block-border-left: "#E9E9E9"
    keep-tex: true
highlight-style: vim-dark
---

```{{python}}
foo = 1 + 1
```

Also just a note but

    code-block-bg: true
    code-block-border-left: "#E9E9E9"

Is this not only for HTML output ? In the example above, these keys are provided in pdf too. Not sure they will work there to style PDF code blocks

Hi! Regarding the first answer.

I moved highlight-style: tango out of pdf and it still doesn't highlight code.

For the second answer, using the

code-block-bg: true
code-block-border-left: "#E9E9E9"

results in changing the code background, but does not show the vertical color line at left!
I couldn't find a way to use both! (for pdf)

Thanks!

Color is shown on the left for me :

#E9E9E9 is light grey which you see on the side.

This is using

format:
  html:
    theme: cosmo
    code-block-bg: true
    code-block-border-left: "#E9E9E9"
highlight-style: tango

Changing highlight style is working also

format:
  html:
    theme: cosmo
    code-block-bg: true
    code-block-border-left: "#E9E9E9"
  pdf:
    keep-tex: true
highlight-style: vim-dark

Gets me this for PDF

and this for HTML

because code-block-bg: true is set which I believe will use bootstrap background instead of highlight one. Without it I correctly get the same highlight style

(@dragonstyle is this expected that code-block-bg: true overrides highlight style background ?)

What are you expecting exactly ? Can you share a reproducible document with code blocks you are comparing ? Probably one with {python} and another with {{python}} ? Giving an example or illustration is the best way for us to really understand what you found.
Thanks!

Ok, thanks for the answer.

Here is a small sample:

test.qmd

def calc(x):
    return 2 * x + sum(x)

def another(x):
    2 * x + 1 + sum(x)

and _quarto.yml:

project:
  type: book

book:
  title: "Ml"
  author: "George"
  date: "6/24/2022"
  chapters:
    - index.qmd
    - intro.qmd
    - test.qmd
    - summary.qmd
    - references.qmd

bibliography: references.bib

format:
  html:
    theme: cosmo
  pdf:
    include-before-body: 
        - colors.tex
    documentclass: scrreprt
    code-block-bg: true
    code-block-border-left: "#E9E9E9"
    keep-tex: true
highlight-style: tango
editor: visual

colors.tex

\definecolor{cadmiumgreen}{rgb}{0.0, 0.42, 0.24}
\definecolor{ao(english)}{rgb}{0.0, 0.5, 0.0}

And here is a screenshot of the result:

As you can see, the second code which is commented, isn't highlighted.

Now, If I use for example:

code-block-bg: "#E9E9E9"
code-block-border-left: "#5D8AA8"

which is a gray background and a blue line, I receive:

I would expect the gray background and the blue line left.

Thanks for the example. We are tracking this as an issue now in #1236

We'll report back when fixed, or you can follow there too
