I am wondering how one is supposed to format Objective C code using the listings package of LaTeX? I know that the language supports C (Objective) , so how do i set this in the \lstset language option?
Thanks

Like this:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{listings}
\begin{document}
\lstset{language=[Objective]C, breakindent=40pt, breaklines}
\begin{lstlisting}
@interface classname : superclassname {
// instance variables
}
+classMethod1;
+(return_type)classMethod2;
+(return_type)classMethod3:(param1_type)param1_varName;
-(return_type)instanceMethod1:(param1_type)param1_varName :(param2_type)param2_varName;
-(return_type)instanceMethod2WithParameter:(param1_type)param1_varName andOtherParameter:(param2_type)param2_varName;
@end
\end{lstlisting}
\end{document}

That's for C. For Objective C, you'd want to use `\lstset{language=[Objective]C}`.

@Joachim, I've never used Objective C and since joec put it between parenthesis, I guessed the languages didn't differ that much. I was wrong! :). Grabbed some Objective C from the net and fixed my example. Thanks.

@joec, it appears you didn't look into the link I posted (or too briefly). The breaking of lines is explained in `4.10 Margins and line shape`. I adjusted my example. Next time please first read what is already suggested. Thanks.
