pdf knit fails with 'Environment Shaded undefined' Error for IEEE template --> stackoverflow solution

[rainer-rq-koelle]

Dear all,
((I am not sure whether this is a feature request. But a bug report, did not feel right.))
I struggled heavily to work through a sort of trivial problem (c.f. my question and a related question):

Using the rticles IEEE paper template, I wanted to print a R code-chunk.

The default workaround offered on Stackoverflow is to "circumnavigate" the problem by not showing the chunk (aka setting the chunk option echo = FALSE which is not the desired behaviour).
It took me a while to figure out where, i.e. template.tex in the respective rticles R library sub-folder to change the LATEX for a possible solution.

The solution is to add a 3 line LATEX statement in the preamble of template.tex to support the highlighting:

$if(highlighting-macros)$
  $highlighting-macros$
  $endif$ 

Mickey provided an elegant solution in response to the aforementioned fix identified by coatless that is based on a separate header.tex file. I know too little about LATEX, but given the number of lines I find this solution pretty sophisticated.

Still, I believe, the support for the highlighting, i.e. Shaded environment, should be included in the rticles templates out of the box.

Thanks for considering the fix offered by coatless in the next update of the IEEE paper (and possible other templates).

Many thanks for asking and answering the question on SO! I have added the fix to ieee_article().

Under rticles version 0.9, this error still occurs for PeerJ-formatted documents.
