Upquotes not working in 2.0a about minted HOT 5 CLOSED

There is an issue with Pygment's LaTeX formatter that prevents the upquote package from working since Pygments 1.6. I opened a Pygments issue nearly a year ago, but so far nothing has been done (although there are comments indicating some recent work).

When you say "(+ a small workaround)", I'm guessing you are doing something like this, redefining the quote character macro:

\def\PYZsq{\textquotesingle}

This approach doesn't work with the current alpha, because \PYZsq is now \PYG<style_name>Zsq. (Currently, a separate set of macros is created for each style, with the style in the name, since this allows formatting macros to be created only once, rather than on each use as in minted 1.7.) So for the alpha you would want something like this for the default style:

\def\PYGdefaultZsq{\textquotesingle}

If Pygments doesn't incorporate a fix soon, then I will probably hard-code one into minted as I try to close all open issues later this summer.

Tim is actually waiting for me to fix the issue, but I got sidetracked by the RTF formatter and my own work. The pull request (#215) I submitted last year made too many changes, and was thus rejected. Sometime within the next month I will begin to make incremental changes to the LaTeX formatter, and upquote compatibility is early on the list of changes.

I will be posting changes to a wiki, and would love any help and feedback as I make these changes.

In short: a fix is on the way.

You're exactly right regarding the "small workaround" I was using. I just
replaced it with your new, suggested one:

\def\PYGdefaultZsq{\textquotesingle}

and it's now working perfectly with minted 2.0a. Thanks!

@jambonrose Thanks for the update! Good to hear that progress is being made.

I've just modified things so that if the upquote package is loaded, and the problematic Pygments macro is used, then minted will automatically patch the macro to \textquotesingle. This should make things much simpler.
