Re^4: Change default style sheet: add line numbers

> That is, that a code listing was "long enough" that you had wished there were provided line numbers?

well whenever I have to refrain to inlined comments to mark lines

print (1+2)+3;  # <- here is your problem

i.o.w. too often ;-P

Of course this could be up to your personal setting or a JS based nodelet hack, but if you are not sure that the other ones can easily see line numbers you won't use them.

Hmm.. For arguments sake. Say we had <c></c> (<code></code>) but added <cl></cl> (<codelist></codelist>) to add line numbers. If a person were to respond, they could repost the code, or perhaps the relevant section(s) or part(s) and refer to the line numbers that way. Reposting code is not as great an idea (unless <cl></cl> did it automatically) but would allow adding line numbers without editing the original post, on-demand.	[reply]
