Inline code and short verb with minted

minted supports this since v2.0 (on CTAN since 2015/01/31):

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{minted}

\begin{document}
  You can use \mintinline{latex}{\mintinline{latex}{your $code$ goes here}} of
  the minted~2 package to highlight source code inline. If you already use
  \mintinline{latex}{\usepackage{minted}}
\end{document}

---

It is also possible to add a short verb sign:

from the Dokumentation:

\newmintinline['macro name']{'language'}{'options'}. If a 'macro name' is not specified, then the created macro is called \'language'inline

So far there is no support for inline code since I (mistakenly, in hindsight) deemed this not important.

If I find some time to work on the next release, support for this may be added (and will probably break backwards compatibility). In the meantime, somebody has posted a patch (be sure to read all the comments!) to make the \mint command inline. You may want to play with that.
