Any chance we can get the same love for github anchors?

Oh interesting - it’s big block, centered on the correct line, there’s just no highlight, or line number, so it’s not clear what’s being pointed out.

If you select a start and end point the one box will be limited to those lines:

Edit my post above to include a range- no change, but perhaps due to the fact it’s quoted?

EDITED - doing it right now.

Thanks for that.
Seems I can’t onebox just one line, but using a range like `L1153-L1154` works to get the point across.
Having to use \>1 line isn’t a problem, I just don’t know how a lay-person (end user posting in our forum) is going to know this exists.
I’ve updated this topic’s subject accordingly.

I thought you could do 1 line like so:
