minted + escapeinside: how to feed the result of the escape into the lexer?












1















The result of an escapeinside in minted is typeset as-is, and not fed into the lexer. This is by design, as I understand. How can I change minted's behavior so that the result of the escapeinside is lexed together with the rest of the code?



In other words, how can I generate source code dynamically and feed it into the lexer?



Example:



documentclass{article}
usepackage{minted}
begin{document}
newcommand{something}{bbb}
begin{minted}[escapeinside=||]{mask}
aaa|something|aaa
aaabbbaaa
end{minted}
end{document}


generates two different lines, whereas I would like it to generate twice exactly the same line:



enter image description here



From the above code (first line), minted generates the fancyvrb line



PYG{n+nt}{aaa}PYG{esc}{something}PYG{n+nt}{aaa}


whereas what I want is the something command inside the PYG call, something like



PYG{n+na}{aaasomething{}aaa}
