Hello,
It is quite long to explain. But you have to imagine that the source of=20
a HTML is represented as HTML in Firefox.
Nice HTML with a lot of <pre> tags.
So, to put the line numbers, there are several ways.
1) rewrite everything (it would be very long). There is a bug in=20
Bugzilla for it. You can vote to get it fixed !
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3D246620
2) modify the HTML containing the source of the HTML to add line numbers.
If I do this, I have 2 possibilities
a) before each line, add a line number.
But it has a lot of inconvenients. The line number become=20
selectable. And it does not align well vertically.
But the real problem is that it is very slow. Adding lines to a=20
page with 5000 lines takes 30 sec what nobody is ready to wait so long.
If this was done, line wrapping would be possible.
In short this give this:
=20
Line without wrapping
1. This is a long long long long long line.
2. It it line 2.
Choice A
1. This is a long long
long long long line.
2. It it line 2.
b) add a frame next to the source code with line numbers:
This is what I do. It is a lot faster about 2 sec or less for=20
5000 lines.
But if you do line-wrapping the line will not coincide between=20
the 2 frames.
This is why the line-wrapping and line-number are incompatible=20
for now.
In short this give this:
=20
Line =B2without wrapping
1.
2.
This is a long long long long long line.
It it line 2.
Choice B
1.
2.
This is a long long
long long long line.
It it line 2.
So, like you see both way have problems:
1) is a too big work, has to be done in C/C++
2) a) is too slow
b) works but no line numbers.
I am open to any good solution :-)
I hope it explains the problem and why it is not solvable easily.
