## What it is
minted is a LaTeX package that provides syntax highlighting for source code in LaTeX documents using the Pygments library. It offers extensive customization options for highlighted code output, including features like line numbering, framing, and Python-based code snippet selection with regular expressions.

## Use cases
- highlight source code in latex documents
- add syntax highlighting to latex with pygments
- display code listings with line numbers in latex
- format code snippets in academic papers
- customize code block appearance in latex
- include highlighted programming code in a thesis

## When to choose
- you are writing LaTeX documents that include source code and want high-quality syntax highlighting
- you need fine-grained control over code block styling such as line numbers, frames, and escaping math
- you already use TeX Live or MiKTeX and want a well-established, widely distributed package
- you want to leverage Pygments' broad language support inside LaTeX

## When to avoid
- you are not working in LaTeX and need syntax highlighting for web pages or terminals
- you cannot install Python and Pygments alongside your LaTeX toolchain
- you need a zero-dependency solution since minted requires the external Pygments tool
- you want simple inline code formatting without compilation overhead

## Facets
- artifact type: plugin
- maturity: stable
- function: templating, documentation
- domain: documentation, developer-tools, web-design
- platform: python, cli, cross-platform
- tags: latex, syntax-highlighting, pygments, tex, source-code, typesetting
