我尝试在里面使用宏\mintinline。结果如下：
\documentclass{article}
\newcommand\ab{expanded stuff}
\usepackage{minted}
\begin{document}
\expandafter\expandafter\expandafter\expandafter\expandafter\expandafter\expandafter\expandafter\expandafter\expandafter\expandafter\expandafter\expandafter\expandafter\expandafter\expandafter\expandafter\expandafter\expandafter\expandafter\expandafter\expandafter\expandafter\expandafter\expandafter\expandafter\expandafter\expandafter\expandafter\expandafter\expandafter\expandafter\expandafter\mintinline{\ab}
\end{document}
该宏\mintinline是在版本 v2 alpha 2.0 中引入的（目前为 alpha 3，Github 链接，并且突出显示与 Latex/Minted 一致的源代码？）
一定有没有“更好”的方法来做到这一点？:-) 一些解决方案也可以允许语法突出显示按预期运行......（这将是一个难题，因为 \mintinline 占用了一个参数，如下所示：\mintinline{Python}{code goes here})\
我在用铸造 v2.0 alpha 3。可从以下网址下载https://github.com/gpoore/minted/tree/master/source

让我重新格式化它，使其可以阅读。
\expandafter\expandafter\expandafter\expandafter
\expandafter\expandafter\expandafter\expandafter
\expandafter\expandafter\expandafter\expandafter
\expandafter\expandafter\expandafter\expandafter
\expandafter\expandafter\expandafter\expandafter
\expandafter\expandafter\expandafter\expandafter
\expandafter\expandafter\expandafter\expandafter
\expandafter\expandafter\expandafter\expandafter
\expandafter\mintinline{\ab}
现在我将换成\EXPANDAFTER那些受到第一个影响的，只是为了区分它们
\EXPANDAFTER\expandafter\EXPANDAFTER\expandafter
\EXPANDAFTER\expandafter\EXPANDAFTER\expandafter
\EXPANDAFTER\expandafter\EXPANDAFTER\expandafter
\EXPANDAFTER\expandafter\EXPANDAFTER\expandafter
\EXPANDAFTER\expandafter\EXPANDAFTER\expandafter
\EXPANDAFTER\expandafter\EXPANDAFTER\expandafter
\EXPANDAFTER\expandafter\EXPANDAFTER\expandafter
\EXPANDAFTER\expandafter\EXPANDAFTER\expandafter
\EXPANDAFTER\mintinline{\ab}
最后一个\EXPANDAFTER现在尝试扩展 之后的标记\mintinline，这很容易：{无法扩展。因此所有标记的\expandafter标记都消失了，我们只剩下
\expandafter\expandafter\expandafter\expandafter
\expandafter\expandafter\expandafter\expandafter
\expandafter\expandafter\expandafter\expandafter
\expandafter\expandafter\expandafter\expandafter
\mintinline{\ab}
重复前面的步骤：
\EXPANDAFTER\expandafter\EXPANDAFTER\expandafter
\EXPANDAFTER\expandafter\EXPANDAFTER\expandafter
\EXPANDAFTER\expandafter\EXPANDAFTER\expandafter
\EXPANDAFTER\expandafter\EXPANDAFTER\expandafter
\mintinline{\ab}
最后一个扩展（一次）\mintinline，根据\mintinline包中的定义，在输入流中留下以下内容：
\expandafter\expandafter\expandafter\expandafter
\expandafter\expandafter\expandafter\expandafter
\@protected@testopt\mintinline\\mintinline{}{\ab}
注意，这\\mintinline只是一个 token。我们再玩一遍：
\EXPANDAFTER\expandafter\EXPANDAFTER\expandafter
\EXPANDAFTER\expandafter\EXPANDAFTER\expandafter
\@protected@testopt\mintinline\\mintinline{}{\ab}
这里\@protected@testop展开一次；它在 LaTeX 内核中的定义是
% latex.ltx, line 619:
\def\@protected@testopt#1{%%
\ifx\protect\@typeset@protect
\expandafter\@testopt
\else
\@x@protect#1%
\fi}
因此，在删除已经使用的\expandafter标记并替换扩展的宏之后，输入流具有
\expandafter\expandafter\expandafter\expandafter
\ifx\protect\@typeset@protect\expandafter\@testopt
\else\@x@protect\mintinline\fi\\mintinline{}{\ab}
第一个\expandafter展开了第三个，第三个又展开了\ifx；因为我们处于“正常”位置，所以测试是正确的，所以我们剩下
\expandafter\expandafter\expandafter\@testopt
\else\@x@protect\mintinline\fi\\mintinline{}{\ab}
第一个\expandafter扩展了第三个，第三个又扩展了\else；这很简单：匹配之前的所有内容\fi都消失了：
\expandafter\@testopt\\mintinline{}{\ab}
现在\\mintinline已经扩展；但是它的定义是
> \\mintinline=\long macro:
[#1]#2->\minted@resetoptcmd \setkeys {minted@optcmd}{#1}\def \minted@lang {#2}
\begingroup \let \do \@makeother \dospecials \catcode `\{=1 \catcode `\}=2
\catcode `\ =\active \@ifnextchar \bgroup {\minted@inline@iii }{\catcode
`\{=12\catcode `\}=12 \minted@inline@i }.
根据 LaTeX 如何处理使用可选参数定义的命令。由于\\mintinline 想要之后[，错误
! Use of \\mintinline doesn't match its definition.
\mintinline ...@testopt \mintinline \\mintinline {
}
已发出。
有没有更好的方法呢？有的，例如记住以下语法\mintinline：
\mintinline[<options>]{<language>}{<verbatim material>}
那串 33 个\expandafter标记简直是荒谬的：相反，这样做可以：
\begingroup\def\temp{\endgroup\mintinline{c}}% use your preferred language
\expandafter\temp\expandafter{\ab}
但是，如果\ab被认为包含特殊字符，它们可能不会得到特殊处理，因为它们已经被标记化。
答案2
根据minted文档，其语法为\mintinline：
\mintinline[<options>]{<language>}<delim><code><delim>
看来你缺少一个论点——语言规范：
\documentclass{article}
\newcommand{\ab}{expanded stuff}
\newcommand{\pythoninline}{\mintinline{python}}
\usepackage{minted}
\begin{document}
\expandafter\pythoninline\expandafter{\ab}
\end{document}
