Latex: Using Minted package - how do I make it wrap the text (linebreaks=true)

Question

Im using the Pygments for a lot of things, and I'd like to also use this in my latex report. I found the package Minted which interacts with Pygments, but some of the comments and some of the code overflows the right margin. I have used lstlistings' breaklines=true in the past, but I don't see a way to get that functionality using the Minted package, any ideas?


\documentclass[10pt]{article}  
\usepackage{fancyvrb}  
\usepackage{minted}  

\begin{document}
\begin{minted}[mathescape,
 linenos,
 numbersep=5pt,
 frame=single,
 numbersep=5pt,
 xleftmargin=0,
 ]{python}
class Run(BaseModel):
 """
 Run: unique Tool and multiple Inputs
 Status:
  Running => jobs are pending or runing and not all jobs have been completed
  Paused => workers querying for 'Running' Runs won't get this Run until we change status again
  Done => all jobs have completed and have a result_status = 'Done'
  Incomplete => No results (inputs) have been associated with the Run
 """ 
 name = models.CharField(max_length = 150,
  unique=True)
 tool = models.ForeignKey('Tool')
 tags = models.ManyToManyField(RunTag, related_name="model_set")
\end{minted}
\end{document}

Unfortunately, there’s no solution within minted at the moment or for the foreseeable future, sorry. Implementing the breaklines feature is quite difficult. Using listings instead may be your best solution here.

Minted now has a breaklines option.

Thank you for the clear answer Konrad. In spite of this, I was so satisfied with the results minted produced, that I wasn't too bothered by having to double-check the output. – Paddie Feb 01 '10 at 14:22

do you currently have any activities in implementing a `breaklines` feature in minted? – eckes Feb 04 '11 at 13:00

I just want to repeat @eckes question – Manuel Rauber Jul 18 '13 at 15:09

@Raubi I’m no longer the maintainer of `minted` since I lacked both the time and the LaTeX skills for it. It’s currently being developed by [Geoffrey Poore](https://github.com/gpoore/minted). He *does* intent to implement this feature, but I don’t know a timeline. [There is a solution, however](http://tex.stackexchange.com/a/112573/42), but it requires some fiddling. – Konrad Rudolph Jul 18 '13 at 16:04

`breaklines` is implemented now. – Apr 22 '15 at 19:37
It doesn't appear to work in conjunction with the `obeytabs` option. – Tyler Crompton Nov 04 '15 at 01:37
breaklines is great, but it doesn't break words – David 天宇 Wong Feb 16 '16 at 20:54
How do you use it, then? – starbeamrainbowlabs Jun 29 '23 at 13:57

Minted 2.0 (just released) does line breaking if you give it the breaklines option:

\documentclass[10pt]{article}  
\usepackage{fancyvrb}  
\usepackage{minted}  

\begin{document}
\begin{minted}[%
 breaklines,
 mathescape,
 linenos,
 numbersep=5pt,
 frame=single,
 numbersep=5pt,
 xleftmargin=0pt,
 ]{python}
class Run(BaseModel):
 "''
 Run: unique Tool and multiple Inputs
 Status:
  Running => jobs are pending or runing and not all jobs have been completed
  Paused => workers querying for 'Running' Runs won't get this Run until we change status again
  Done => all jobs have completed and have a result_status = 'Done'
  Incomplete => No results (inputs) have been associated with the Run
 "'' 
 name = models.CharField(max_length = 150,
  unique=True)
 tool = models.ForeignKey('Tool')
 tags = models.ManyToManyField(RunTag, related_name=''model_set'')
\end{minted}
\end{document}

There are also various related options to control how the presence of a line break is indicated in the output. See section 6.3 in the minted documentation.

You should have a look at texments as it is for using the Pygments highlighter in LaTeX. http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/texments/

I've taken a look at it, but it didn't solve my problem, simply did the same. I may just have to do this all by hand then.. – Paddie Jan 12 '10 at 21:26
