Feature enhancement: line numbers in "Export to Html"

[dholshou]

For my code reviews, I need to provide line numbers.
The "Export to Html" feature is powerful and welcome.
I'd like to request a feature enhancment.
Please include (or the option to include) line numbers in the html output.

I use C/C++ and must provide code in a document format, ie. html or MS Word Doc, with modifications from heritage and Change Request information highlighted for the reviewers. This includes line numbers.

Would a .pdf work?  If so, printing to .pdf offers the option to include line numbers in the output. 

If not, how about Search & Replace with regex to insert line numbers?  Wait.  Won't work simply, as you'd have to count line numbers in the replace.  But a macro to do the same should work.  It's an iterative count of the line on the replace, so...  (Think-think-think).  Gotta think about it.

But .pdf is pretty nifty, and it works now.

That's a good suggestion, I will add that to the feature tracker.  You can do this pretty quickly in SlickEdit by editing the HTML directly.  The source is all inside a

 tag, you can create a block selection on column 1, and use the Enumerate (Edit > Other > Enumerate...) to insert numbers on column 1.  If you want a trailing '.' or ':' you could also use Block Insert Mode (Edit > Other > Block Insert Mode) on the selection first to insert for all the lines before you do the enumerate, or quickly add some whitespace.  You may want to disable HTML formatting/wrap for this

.

Nice.  I can think of half a dozen places where the enumerate will be useful now.  Thanks!

I know this is probably a very silly question, but...
I need some help using block select.
I use vi mode and block select is done with <ctrl-v>.
In [g]vim you can hit <ctrl-v> then G to go directly to the bottom or / to search to a place and the block select will follow to your destination.
VSlick doesn't seem to extend the block select in a way I can control and I figure out how to extend the block select to the bottom.
Any help?

As far as the Vim thing goes...G isn't extending your selection to the bottom of the file?  It should definitely be doing that...that's the behavior I see.  Also, "/" seems to extend the selection appropriately as well. 

Are these not working for you at all?  Have you tried replicating that issue with a clean config?

Ok, I tested and you are correct.
Visual select - G or gg works just fine.
I was stuck with a stale memory...mine.

Selection and search does work, but to continue a search with n, #, or * does not.
You must continue the next search by using the old school //<enter>.
