| Oct 14, 2011 at 16:45 | comment | added | slhck | @Wolfpack'08 I'm not that active on SO, so I haven't seen line number comments yet. It's surely not a big thing to implement this with a userscript, and you can always publish it on Stack Apps :) | |
| Oct 14, 2011 at 16:41 | comment | added | Wolfpack'08 | I really do like what you've said about educating people to refer to code with more than just line numbers. It's a very useful exercise that helps people to better understand code. Thank you. | |

It would be more convenient for people to be able to toggle numbers and see what people are referring to, rather than needing to go off-site to figure it out. The 'toggle' wouldn't be question-by-question, it would be code block-by-code block. I'll see if I can develop a working example. | |
