How can I include MATLAB code in Latex without encountering errors?

[aaaa202]

I need some kind of environment in Latex where you can write whatever you want without it interpreting it. The reason is I need to include a MATLAB code. Most places I go says I have to use the lstlisting environment, but that doesn't work. Or at least I get this error:
! Package inputenc Error: Unicode char \u8:�\expandafter not set up for use wit
h LaTeX.

See the inputenc package documentation for explanation.
Type H <return> for immediate help.

Can't you put 
      your source code 
      inside code 
tags?

 

[aaaa202]

maybe. How do you make code tags?

Go back to my post and hit the "quote" button

There's a button on the edit panel header, too; select the text to be wrapped in code tags and hit the icon.

It's probably just as easy to type in the tags by hand.

okay but this is for the messages on this site. Does it work in a latex document too? edit: ill just try ofc

No, it's for posts on this site. It wasn't clear to me that you wanted to create "free-form" text in a general LaTex environment. Sorry about that.

A quick google turned up the listings package which might be of interest.

It was pretty clear to me!

aaaa202, the problem is that lstlistings only supports ASCII. Your code apparently contains non-ASCII characters. You need to use either the package listingsutf8 or listings and specify the encoding via \lstset.

hmm yeh but as said I tried that one and I get the weird error:
! Package inputenc Error: Unicode char \u8:�\expandafter not set up for use wit
h LaTeX.

See the inputenc package documentation for explanation.

okay I tried lstlset. Now I get error: "Package keyval error"

edit: I am now using listingsutf8 with \lstset

In the opening post you said you tried lstlistings. That package does not work with non-ASCII characters. That's what that cryptic message "Unicode char \u8:�" is about.

 

[aaaa202]

sorry that comment was written before I tried your solution. Look my previous comment :)

My mind reading skills aren't up to snuff today. How did you use \lstset? Did you read the documentation on it?

 

[aaaa202]

well i just used listingsutf 8 and made a \lstset environment. Thought that did the trick, ill read the documentation. Just thought u might recognize the error.

 

[aaaa202]

reading on the documentation didnt really help. I attached my error if you wonna try help me further :)

You aren't showing the code. How did you use \lstset?

 

[0xDEADBEEF]

The cheap way to do it, is the verbatim environment, but it will not have line numbers or syntax highlighting etc.

\begin{verbatim}
#include <iostream>
 
using namespace std;
 
int main(void)
{
    cout << "hello world\n";
    cin.get();
 
    return 0;
}
\end{verbatim}

I don't think verbatim can handle non-ASCII characters, either.
