defining the restoring macro is for maximal compatibility but anyhow regarding minted problem with - of catcode 11 it seems it happens within a group so it is unneeded to restore at end of this style file the catcode - to its (erroneous) minted setting anyhow

as commented above we could also decide to go for only \catcode`\-=12 approach because nobody in his/her right mind should input a TeX/LaTeX file of macros with any other catcode for - than 12

I think this should definitely be merged - I think tex package release cycles are quite long and we don't want to break minted.

@Anteru pick into a branch and make a 2.8.1?

@birkenfeld sorry for not having detected the problem at time of #1708, but I use only Sphinx! :-)

@birkenfeld Yes, this seems important enough. I'd suggest to merge onto master and then cherry-pick into a 2.8 series branch.

Cherry picked as 500713d which can be used for a 2.8.1 release.

As minted loads this file with \endlinechar=-1 setting it would have been better here to add explicitly \relax after 12. This is cosmetic as next line starts with a \def which does not expand hence the TeX parsing of the digits will end correctly.

Just mentioning this out of professional sense of duty... (there is no higher level LaTeX interface to set a catcode, so I used the core level TeX syntax, but one has to be aware of some things) (I would have probably used core TeX syntax anyhow anyway as I like it)

It's certainly interesting to read 😆

There was a silly oversight (they all are silly) in my latex code, which I fixed at #1736. Sorry for all the trouble! @birkenfeld

This reverts already merged pygments#1735 (after a commit from pygments#1736 to fix it)
and applies the first envisioned method discussed in pygments#1734.

The reason is that the pygments#1735-pygments#1736 method only partially repairs the
minted compatibility.  Minted queries from Pygments the stylesheet
with a command prefix equal to the style name, which may contain
(at least, so far) characters such as - and _, which are not normally
allowed in LaTeX macros.  So it modifies the meaning of - and _ before
telling LaTeX to input the Pygments provided stylesheet.  Thus, retoring
the normal meaning of - e.g. must be done slightly differently than in
be defined using the weird minted -.

The pygments#1735-pygments#1736 method did fix compatibility with minted but *only* for
those style names not using a -, and it creates another issue if used with
style "paraiso-dark" e.g. which has a - character in its name.

"De guerre lasse", I feel it is simpler to use the somewhat strange
very localized hotfix of prefixing - by \string at the one spot where
we need it to be its normal self.  Hence this PR.
