I installed MiTeX and I have neve used TeX or LaTeX before. How do I get it to run in Windows 7? Specifically, after I write a test program, what cooand do I give to execute the file,and where can I find that command on the window or otherwis. Thanks

Many thanks for this very useful post.

However I thought I’d add a few things for others who may be in need. I wanted to include the pygmentized latex as a sub-document in lyx using a tex block with the following inside:

\input{./pygmentized_source_file.tex}

to do this you must first run the command above using the -O full flag. Then copy and paste all the commands (e.g. \newcommand\PYaL[1]{\textcolor[rgb]{0.00,0.00,1.00}{#1}}) from the the resultant tex file into the Latex preamble section (Documents -> Settings -> Latex Preamble) and then re-run the the pygmentize command without the -O flag.

Now that lyx knows what all those new commands mean you should be able to merrily hit the pdflatex button and all should work just fine.

Thanks for this, I am glad you were the first hit on google. Oh, and the blog title “Dammit Jim!” is by far the best blog title I have ever come across.

@rkoopman
Good suggestion. That’s a useful package too, especially for long bits of code.
