I wrote a little program to color syntax-highlight LyX files by treating anything in typewriter font as code. This has several advantages - no need to annotate by hand, code can be extracted and even tested, easy to alter the document self-consistently and so on. I chose to put all code snippets on their own minipage, to help lay them out aesthetically. However, LaTeX does a poor job of distributing them on the page, so any alterations to the document need to be carefully checked to make sure the LaTeX output hasn't become very ugly (e.g. huge gaps). I think the solution I used works reasonably well but there is plenty of room for improvement. Ideally, I'd like to get rid of LaTeX... -- Dr Jon D Harrop, Flying Frog Consultancy Ltd.
