Nice idea, but I don't think the lines within a <code> block are addressable by CSS, as they don't appear in the document tree and don't have pseudo-element selectors (not even in CSS3, AFAICR). Seeing as the code needs processing anyway to escape XML-semantic characters, you may as well pass it through a syntax-colouring module; that will do escaping, line numbering and syntax colouring all in one go. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
