Using overlays for source code listings in LaTeX Beamer

Filed under: Blog — krkhan @ 9:33 pm

The standard way of including source code listings in Beamer is to use the semiverbatim environment. Needless to say, it does not provide all the syntax highlighting and line-numbering love of the listings package. Combine the two and you have something pretty as well as extremely helpful in delivering presentations which have code:
