Create code-line-numbers across code chunks?

[ChandlerLutz]

Description

I'm using code-line-numbers to add line numbers to code chunks. Is it possible to number lines across code chunks (e.g., not restart at number 1) with setting code-line-numbers manually within each chunk?

No I don't think this is possible. Currently this feature relies mainly on Pandoc's highlighter support (https://pandoc.org/MANUAL.html#extension-fenced_code_attributes) and it applies on code block by code block.

This is now possible, as documented at the link @cderv provided, e.g.

```{.r startFrom="100"}
```

would be nice if this was documented in the Quarto docs.

(I edited to add the extra backticks around the code. I do not know since when I can in discussions ...)

@hturner If your code contains code blocks, you need to enclose it using more backticks, i.e., usually four ````.
See https://quarto.org/bug-reports.html#formatting-make-githubs-markdown-work-for-us.

Well, I was just showing how to specify the option. If you want an example with code, here's one I'm working on, to start from where the server function is defined in an app.R file

## Writing a Shiny App {auto-animate="true"}

```{.r filename="app.R" startFrom=31}
)

server <- function(input, output, session) {

}
```

## Writing a Shiny App {auto-animate="true"}

```{.r filename="app.R" startFrom=31}
)

server <- function(input, output, session) {
    # Reactive value to store the uploaded data
    uploaded_data <- reactive({
        req(input$file)
        data <- read.csv(input$file$datapath, header = TRUE)
        return(data)
    })
}
```

Ah, thanks for making the edit, your comment makes more sense now!

We'll document, but we'll do it by a new option that is more aligned with the context, and findable with autocompletion. Current candidate is code-line-numbers-start

• Add code-line-numbers-start to map to startFrom Pandoc's feature #13042
