This has been done. I'm doing a code deploy tonight (assuming final testing).

Hey, that's quick! Any test support needed? Cheers Andi

[Chris Maunder]

Sorry for the delay but our tewting showed some errors the day I wanted to deploy, and we've only just had a chance to redeploy. The feature is now in place so go for it.

Hello Chris, works like a charm! See my latest tip update, at the far end (at the moment, the tip is in pending state though). Thanks again, it's very useful! Cheers Andi

Not really. It may be OK in tips&tricks, it has at least one bug in forum messages: countincrement seems to work, countstart doesn't. example using <pre linecount="True" countstart="30">

Graphics g=e.Graphics;
g.FillRectangle((e.State&DrawItemState.Selected)==0?Brushes.White:Brushes.Yellow, e.Bounds);
Brush brush=Brushes.Black;

and <pre linecount="True" countincrement="10" countstart="30">:

Graphics g=e.Graphics;
g.FillRectangle((e.State&DrawItemState.Selected)==0?Brushes.White:Brushes.Yellow, e.Bounds);
Brush brush=Brushes.Black;

I could achieve my goal, i.e. it worked for me. After tweeking a bit with countstart I think I found that it only works if the <pre... tag is on the same line as the first code line. Otherwise, the count starts at 1. I did not use countincrement. Andi

I can confirm that the following works:

<pre lang="html" countlines="true" countstart="123" countincrement="17">a
b
c</pre>

Count starts at 123 and increments by 17. Where as the following does not work:

<pre lang="html" countlines="true" countstart="123" countincrement="17">
a
b
c</pre>

Count starts at 17 and increments by 17. This does neither work:

<pre lang="html" countlines="true" countstart="123">
a
b
c</pre>

Count starts at 1 and increments by 1. Conclusion: If the first "code line" of the <pre... is on the same line as the tag, countstart works correctly, otherwise it's not working correctly. Cheers Andi

You may be correct, but then it wouldn't make much sense that countstart has a positional requirements, whereas linecount and countincrement don't. And yes, I tend to put the PRE tags on separate lines, as it preserves vertical alignment of the code. :)
