R help - Apr 2008 - [OT] Typesetting / highlighting R code in Latex

Using Latex and the beamer class, I would like to highlight code snippets.
Does anybody know a suitable 'preprocessor' or 'filter' for R
(and/or C/C++)
code ?

I have been including it in simple \begin{verbatim} ... \end{verbatim} and I
know there is a better way -- in fact I saw it used a while back in some
package I looked at.  And I didn't write that down...

What I am looking for is the basic equivalent of 'everything in
verbatim'
plus the ability to hightlight certain parts to stress the points I'd like
to
make.  

There must be something.  Pointers would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks, Dirk

Sweave uses the fancyvrb package, which allows quite a lot of 
customization.  I don't think it would be easy to use Sweave to apply 
different highlighting to different parts of R code, but you could use 
fancyvrb directly.

When combining Sweave and beamer, you need to remember the opening

\begin{frame}[containsverbatim]

but that's probably true for \begin{verbatim} too.

I've also used the listings package (not with beamer), but didn't stick 
with it, I think because I didn't like the default style and was too 
lazy to customize it.

The listing class was what I was looking for -- thanks for the quick off-list
reply.  Basic synopis of listing is eg here
