This is a question of whether a feature exists (possibly as a plugin) or a feature request in case it doesn’t…

What I’m looking for is the ability to display something like this within Discourse Forum discussions:

Not just showing a bit of code with language-specific syntax highlighting (we already have this by introducing it with ```php, for example, and closing with ```).

What I want is to be able to **highlight** some line, perhaps **comment it** , and **show an edit** to the line. These are typically useful in any Forums discussing technical stuff where you advise changes to apply or point out, problematic areas.

Although we _do_ use GitHub for our project, I’m not specifically asking to show changes as they happen in GitHub, but rather something that can be input independently within Discourse - the above image is meant only as an example of how it could look.
