Hi Justin,
If I understand correctly, you want to apply a style to specific words that
appear in source code.
If I undestand correctly, use a character style as shown in the Charcode
character style that follows:
Preamble
% ### Character style -- monotype for code in paragraph
\newcommand{\charcode}[1]{\texttt{#1}}%
EndPreamble
# %%% Typewriter font inside paragraphs
CharStyle Charcode
Font
Family Typewriter
EndFont
LatexName charcode
LatexType Command
End
Then, you highlight the word(s) you want to appear as variables or whatever,
and apply the Charcode character style.
