Keywords, comments and strings can be typeset using different styles (default is bold for keywords, italic for comments and no special style for strings). Includes support for hyperref.

NOTE: The original author of this package, Carsten Heinz, became inactive sometime in late 2004. Hendri Adriaens took over maintenance of the package in accordance with the LPPL's procedure for abandoned packages. He then passed the maintainership of the package to Brooks Moses, who had volunteered for the position while this procedure was going through. Six years later Jobst Hoffmann took over the maintainership of the listings package.

This release, version 1.5, is a minor maintenance release and contains updates to a programming language and support for a new program as well:

• Fortran is updated to version Fortran 2003 and Fortran 2008

• Lua is a newly introduced language, the supported versions are Lua 5.0, 5.1, and 5.2.
