I found this post from 2021 [Is it possible to show line numbers in code block?](https://meta.discourse.org/t/is-it-possible-to-show-line-numbers-in-code-block/204178) but no idea how to apply it.

- Is this option built into Discourse? If so, how do I specify this in Markdown?
- If it is not built into Discourse but is a plugin, where is the information on this plugin?
