That charge could be leveled at this forum too, and it's a minor inconvenience at that (think ALT-SHIFT-Arrow). On the other hand, a reference to a line number can be handy in case someone is actually commenting on a piece of code.
FYI, you can forgo line numbers and colour formatting by omitting the language tag from the bbcode code tags, i.e.:
[code]
(defun c:helloworld ( )
(princ "\nHello World!")
)
[/code]
Will produce:
(defun c:helloworld ( )
(princ "\nHello World!")
)
( Just in case you weren't aware )
My comments were regarding the AutoCAD DevBlog, since there is
no way to copy the code without getting the line numbers.
As I mentioned in my revised comment, the line numbers aren't
a problem on this site, since they don't get copied (or at least,
not with Chrome).
And, after giving it more thought, I think code line numbers are
not all that useful because you don't know what line you are
referring to in annotations until after you posted the code, and
even worse, if you revise the posted code and insert/delete
lines, references to line numbers are no longer valid.
So what good are they?
