Hi, I use markdown (mostly, this is Typora software to create and export to PDF) to create documentation. I use the following code to show line numbers in code blocks:

```plaintext
{.language .numberLines}

```

Example code:

result:

Also I use a forum to publish announcements and I would like to share some code in forum posts. But seems this trick doesn’t work in Discourse :(. Is there any way to show line numbers in code blocks of the forum?
